Abu Dhabi March weather
Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates · March
Best outdoor time shifts toward mornings and late afternoons
March keeps much of winter’s comfort, but midday heat starts to rise. Mornings and evenings become the best windows for outdoor plans.
Coastal humidity and wind can change comfort more than the temperature suggests—some days feel drier, others feel warmer and heavier.
For desert outings, expect a larger day–night swing and pack a thin layer for evening comfort.
