The Weather in Dubai Mar 21, 2009
Gooday everyone,How are you all? Im interested in knowing what sort of daytime temperatures you get in Dubai in Summer? I reckon Adelaide can give you a run for your money with the last burst of heat coupled with the worst Bushfires Ive ever seen in Victoria 2 days later.Man was it hot!!

Thank you for your response.The temperatures are similar to Adelaide in Summer.We hand a" heatwave" just before those bushfires for two weeks where it was above 37.C everyday.There was one day it peaked at 45.8C I was riding my bicycle to work and it was like riding in a fan forced oven.When I got to work I looked like a tomato ,all I needed was the dressing!

You also have to consider the humidity levels. Feeling like riding in a fan-forced oven is way much better than feeling like riding inside a bowl of hot curry soup.

Mr Adventure1, I've lived in Adelaide for 9 years and Dubai for 1 year. Adelaide's summer has nothing on the UAE, it is much hotter here.

Adelaide gets 'heatwaves' where it is hot for a week or so, then a cool change comes in and the temperature drops 15 degrees then it slowly heats up again.

Dubai gets 'heatmonths'. It is bloody hot here for about 6 months, and for at least 3 of those there is an almost constant temperature of over 40. It doesn't have the heatwave/coolchange cycle that Adelaide has.

Also the humidity like yujinn said. Adelaide has very dry summers, but here in July it can be 47 in the daytime and humid at night.

What are you from Venus? ;-)

It was 37 the other week (March!), and last summer it hit 48.5. But yes, some of my co-workers appear to be polar bears in suits and prefer the office temp to be -12 Celsius.

Ok, I actually work near Shahama, which is 80Ks south of Dubai and further into the desert than any human should venture so maybe I'm thinking of it being a little hotter than Dubai central.

September may be better because that's when the humidity is at its highest.

Ok,I was wrong! Sorri I can consider myself just a little lucky then that I dont have to endure those 45C heatwaves.The only areas here in South Australia that get like that is around Marla, Roxby Downs areas.I hope you got good air conditioning.

Well it's raining, hailing, thunder and lightning right now!

The summer is awful, over 45 degrees and 99% humidity - yuck! But what really irritates me is then freezing to death when you go inside malls, offices etc.
