When will UAE temperatures start dropping? Here’s what to expect
Abu Dhabi: Relief from the UAE’s intense summer heat is drawing closer, with temperatures expected to begin a noticeable decline during the second half of September as the country moves towards milder autumn conditions.

UAE residents can anticipate a gradual easing of the scorching summer heat starting in mid-September, according to experts. The Emirates Astronomical Society's Chairman Ibrahim Al Jarwan announced that the traditional 40-day period, marked by the early appearance of the Suhail star, will conclude on September 24. This event typically heralds a respite from the intense heat, although temperatures may still fluctuate with increased humidity and occasional fog.
The more significant shift in weather patterns is expected to begin on September 25 with the onset of "Dar Al Khamsin". During this phase, maximum temperatures are anticipated to dip below 40°C, while nighttime lows fall below 25°C. Following this, the "Dar Al Sittin" phase between October 5 and 15 brings about distinctive, shifting winds known locally as "Darbat Al Ukhaithib".
These winds can hasten the transition towards milder conditions, paving the way for the "Al Murabba aniya" phase, traditionally recognized by Bedouin communities. This phase typically begins around October 15 and lasts for approximately 40 days, extending until early November. This period sets the stage for the arrival of winter clouds and the onset of colder weather, coinciding with the beginning of Al Wasm, a traditionally favorable period for beneficial rainfall in the Arabian Peninsula.
