Weather factors to check
- Extreme summer heat and humidity with a dangerous heat index
- Shamal winds bringing dust storms and reduced visibility
- Humid coastal heat that limits evaporative cooling
Air Quality
Air quality is part of everyday weather planning, especially for workouts, commuting, wildfire smoke, heat, and sensitive groups. A local forecast should make that context easy to act on in Dubai.
