🌤 Weather summary and notes
🌤 WEATHER SUMMARY & NUANCES The Forecast: Expect intense May sunshine with daytime highs of +36°C to +39°C (feeling like +42°C due to humidity) and balmy nights around +27°C. Dress Code & Survival: Clothing: Breathable linens and cottons are your best friends. Always carry a light scarf or cardigan—Dubai’s AC is legendary and can feel like the Arctic. Sun Protection: SPF 50+ is non-negotiable. Hydration: Drink water constantly; even if you don't feel thirsty, the humidity drains you. Timing: Between 12:00 and 16:30, stay indoors. Our route places you in malls, museums, or snow parks during these peak hours.
