The country is extraordinarily dry, getting only a few days of rain a year. Despite that, Emiratis use water at an alarming rate: there are broad swaths of grass in the major public parks, for example, and landscaping can be extensive in the resorts or other public places. A visitor is not restricted in water use in any way. The weather from late October through mid-March is quite pleasant, with high temperatures ranging from around 27°C ( 85°F) to lows around 15°C ( 63°F). It is almost always sunny. In the summer, the temperatures soar — it is widely suspected that the officially reported temperatures are "tweaked" to cut off the true summer highs, which can reach 50°C, or around 120°F, or even higher!

Weather is another contributing factor for travel to the United Arab Emirates. There is very little rainfall in the UAE making it an excellent holiday destination. Rainfall occurs between November and March and is minimal. Between May and September temperatures can be scorching. Throughout the rest of the year it's very warm and pleasant. During the summertime temperatures soar and humidity skyrockets along the coastline. One should be prepared to keep cool and take in plenty of water to avoid heat exhaustion and heatstroke. Many believe the best time for UAE travels is between October and May when the average temperatures is a pleasant 75 degrees Fahrenheit.
