Dubai has a sub tropical, dry climate. Rainfall is not common. The summer months, from June to September, are too hot. Mid day temperatures range from 35°C to 42°C and occasionally rise up to 49°C at the height of summer. During this period there is a sharp drop in nighttime temperatures, with these falling to 20°C to 28°C.
Gulf waters exert a modifying influence on coastal zones, which experience less dramatic diurnal fluctuations in temperature, and higher humidities than inland regions. Although the evenings are not so cool, coastal towns do have the advantage of pleasantly refreshing sea breezes. Mountainous regions are also cooler and less humid. From December to March, the climate is considerably more equable with midday temperatures ranging from 25 to 35°C and falling to as low as 9°C at night.
