Can we expect Dubai’s weather to stay cool throughout Easter?

Aren’t we all enjoying the occasional showers and the chilly breeze around the city? Well, better yet we can continue enjoying the cool temperatures until Easter as the city sees lows of 17 degrees in the Northern Emirates.

We can also expect heavy clouds and haze, with strong strong breezes potentially causing rough sea conditions in the Arabian Gulf and Oman Sea, so put those beach plans on pause! The meteorology centre who predicts the weather forecast in Dubai, is also expecting for us to see wind speeds of up to 50 kph next Thursday and Friday, so keep that jumper handy!
