May in Dubai, United Arab Emirates, brings average daily highs of 39°C and overnight lows of 27°C in the 2016–2025 historical record. Allow room to shorten long outdoor plans when the day's forecast is hotter than you want. A schedule with easy breaks and less travelling between stops will give you more choices.
In the record, at least 1 mm of rain or snow falls on 1 of 31 days on average, a daily chance of 2%. Rain has been relatively infrequent in this record, which leaves more scope for an outdoor plan. Still keep an alternative for a wet day: a low monthly average cannot tell you when the rain will arrive.
The calculated day length, sunrise to sunset, averages about 13 hours. Sunshine averages 13 hours a day. Use the daylight window to plan the length of excursions, and check local sunrise and sunset times for the dates of your stay. Sunshine is a separate measure, and those hours need not arrive in one uninterrupted stretch.
For nature trips or walks, keep the longest outings movable and check route conditions locally; a monthly climate average cannot establish whether a particular path is accessible. If the coast is part of your plan, check water conditions separately. Air temperature and sunshine do not establish swimming conditions, surf quality or diving visibility.
June has an average daily high of 42°C, 3°C higher than May. Its historical rain-day chance is <1%, compared with 2% this month. If your dates are flexible, compare those trade-offs with the kind of days you want. Neither set of averages predicts the conditions of one particular holiday.
