I wish to plan a visit to Dubai and I would like to know when the best season to visit Dubai is. I believe that during the months of May, June, and July it is very hot in Dubai, hotter than India, so I would like to avoid such months. Is the winter season a good time to visit Dubai?
That is correct from the months of April until October the weather in Dubai is very hot, temperatures rise to 40c and sometimes more. So if you plan to be outdoors when in Dubai that is kind of impossible during these months, as its get very hot and humid. The best time to visit Dubai would be from November to March when the weather is pleasant, so yes the winter season is a good time to visit. If you are interested in the Dubai shopping festival then make a trip to Dubai between January to February when the festival is held. This is also the peak season so be prepared to see a lot of tourists.
No doubt the summer season sees Dubai with sweltering heat. But one must remember those living in Dubai know the secret of how to face that heat. Dubai is a progressive country and surely there are ways to counter that heat. The advantage of visiting Dubai in summer (April to October) is that you will find heavy discounts at all Malls. Even airfares would be available at discounted rates. And last but not the least you could move about in peace as there will be less people. @Karthik has already explained the plus points of visiting in Winter.
You are right, summers in Dubai can be scorching hot, even exceeding temperatures in India. You would be wise to avoid May to July. Winter, from November to April, is generally considered the best time to visit Dubai. This is when the weather is most pleasant, with highs ranging from 15°C to 25°C (59°F to 77°F). These comfortable temperatures make it ideal for sightseeing and enjoying all the outdoor activities that Dubai has to offer, like desert safaris, exploring the souks, and relaxing on the beach. However, there are a few things to keep in mind about visiting Dubai in winter: This is also the peak tourist season, so expect larger crowds and higher prices for hotels and flights. January and February are particularly busy due to the Dubai Shopping Festival, which attracts visitors from all over the world. If you are on a tight budget or prefer a more relaxed atmosphere, you might consider visiting Dubai during the shoulder seasons, April, May, September, and October. The weather is still warm during these months, but not uncomfortably so. You will also find better deals on travel and accommodation. Here’s a quick summary to help you decide: Pleasant weather: November to April Peak season: December to February (Dubai Shopping Festival) Shoulder seasons: April, May, September, and October Hot weather: May to July
