Outdoor activity in Dubai summer is not just uncomfortable — it's hazardous. I tried an evening desert walk in August and the 42°C heat felt like opening an oven. The data confirms: May-September, stay indoors. The miracle months are November-March, when daytime highs drop to 25-30°C and evenings are genuinely pleasant. This is when you can actually enjoy the outdoor markets, beach, and desert safaris. Plan accordingly.
