How Often Does It Rain In Dubai? Temperature, Sunshine Hours & All You Need To Know Amid City’s Heavy Rainfall

The recent storm that originated in Oman led to the tragic deaths of 18 people, including children, reported the news agency AFP. The severity of the storm extended beyond Dubai, affecting the entire UAE and the neighboring Bahrain. The devastation caused flooding due to the relentless storms in Bahrain.

After heavy rainfall, Dubai, known for its affluence, was inundated with scenes of stalled SUVs, abandoned buses, and individuals attempting to tow their partially submerged vehicles. The downpour resulted in flooding, causing major highways to be submerged and roads and bridges to be impassable.

Videos circulated online depicted cars navigating through standing water. Dubai International Airport (DXB), one of the world’s busiest airports, faced disruptions due to the inclement weather. A viral video showed planes maneuvering through flooded tarmacs. Operations at the airport were halted for 25 minutes earlier on Tuesday, with arriving flights temporarily diverted as the adverse weather persisted.

Shopping centres and malls in Dubai also bore the brunt of the unusual weather, with viral videos showcasing the damage caused by the heavy rain. In response to the impending storm, schools across the UAE were closed. Prior advisories issued by the police warned residents about the adverse weather conditions expected to impact the United Arab Emirates.

The UAE’s meteorological department further cautioned that another bout of unstable weather was anticipated from Tuesday afternoon into early Wednesday morning, starting from Western areas and spreading across scattered parts of the country.

What Is The Average Temperature Of Dubai?

Dubai, the most populous of the United Arab Emirates, experiences a subtropical desert climate characterized by very mild or pleasantly warm winters and scorching hot summers, where the combination of temperature and humidity can create oppressive heat.

During the summer, the prevailing wind typically originates from the sea, carrying moisture from the Persian Gulf. The average temperature varies from 20 °C (68 °F) in January to 36.5 °C (98 °F) in August. Below are the average temperatures for each month.

When Does It Rain In Dubai?

Rainfall is infrequent in the UAE, a desert nation located on the Arabian Peninsula, but it does occur sporadically during the cooler winter season. The absence of consistent rainfall has led to inadequate drainage systems in many roads and other areas, contributing to the severity of the flooding.

Sunshine Hours In Dubai?

Dubai, renowned as the sunniest city in Asia, experiences an average of 8–10 hours of sunshine daily throughout the year. June stands out as the sunniest month, boasting an average of 12.15 hours of sunshine, whereas January marks the least sunny month, with an average of 8.78 hours.
