Officially, summer season in the UAE begins today (June 21), according to Ibrahim Al Jarwan, Board Chairman of the Emirates Astronomical Society and member of the Arab Union for Space and Astronomy Sciences. Reports suggest that the weather during the first half of summer is expected to be relatively dry with some active winds. These weather patterns will continue until August 10. Daytime temperatures are predicted to range between 41°C and 43°C, with some regions reaching as high as 50ºC. Nighttime temperatures will be between 26°C and 29°C.
The second half of summer in Dubai, starting on Sunday, August 11, will see a sudden rise in humidity, constant high temperatures, and an activation of moist Koi winds.
