Temperatures: Dubai climate normals for 1991 to 2020, from Wikipedia's Dubai climate table. Sunrise and sunset are for the 15th of each month, Gulf Standard Time, calculated for central Dubai with the NOAA solar equations. Shaded months average a daily high of 38 degrees or more. The lows show how much cooler the early morning and late evening are than the afternoon.
Gulf News's expert advice for exercising outside in Dubai summers is to train early in the morning or late in the evening, stay in the shade where you can, hydrate, keep your first sessions short and low intensity, and stop if you feel dizzy or nauseous.
Arab News reports summer temperatures of 40 to 50 degrees, with 51.8 degrees recorded in August 2025, and that Dubai Sports Council ran an indoor Mallathon, with malls open for walking from 7am to 10am, during the heat.
None of this is medical advice. If you have a health condition, or you are new to training, speak to your doctor before exercising in the heat.
