Dubai March weather
Dubai, United Arab Emirates · March
Midday heat rises; wind and dryness can still appear
March keeps much of winter’s comfort, but midday heat starts to feel stronger. Shifting outdoor time to mornings and late afternoons helps a lot.
Some days feel dry and breezy; other days, coastal humidity can make it feel hotter than expected. Comfort can vary more than the temperature numbers suggest.
If your plans include desert evenings, expect a bigger day–night swing and pack a light layer.
