The temperature reaches a peak of 41 degrees Celsius (106 degrees Fahrenheit) in the summer and rarely dips below 14 degrees Celsius (58 degrees Fahrenheit) in the winter.
Rainfall is generally light, with a mean of about 150 millimetres (6″) per year; precipitation is usually centred around January, February and March. However, heavy rain is not uncommon in Dubai during the winter months and January 2008 saw a record of 120mm (or 5″) of rain falling in just 24 hours.
The mean humidity in Dubai is about 60% and is higher during the cooler winter months.
