Everything you need to know about visiting Dubai in June
Take me back to May | Complete Dubai Summer Guide | Jump forward to July
Whilst most of the northern hemisphere is gently gliding into the warm summer months in June, Dubai has already dived in head first!
Temperatures are already scorching hot, and for the most part, life in Dubai has moved indoors to handle the extreme heat in June.
The good news for June visitors to Dubai, is tourism numbers fall from their spring peak and before the summer REALLY starts. This means there are bargains to be had and queue-free attractions to enjoy, so let’s dive into the detail of what to expect in Dubai this June.
In this Dubai June guide:
Dubai Weather in June
The temperature in Dubai moves from hot to even hotter with an average daily maximum of 39.8°C (103.6°F).
Still, it’s not unusual to experience significantly hotter days up to 47.9°C (118.2°F), as well as days with higher than normal humidity. Temperatures drop to an average of 27.7°C (81.9°F) overnight.
Sea temperatures also rise from 30.4°C (87.8°F) up to 33°C (90.4°F) – you won’t get much reprieve from jumping in the sea but most hotel resorts should have chillers on their pools to keep the water refreshing.

Is June too hot in Dubai?
This is really a matter of personal preference and what you have planned for Dubai.
For the most part, it’s too hot to be out and about at the beach or tackling the desert in June during the peak of the day, but not impossible.
If you don’t mind sweating a little, evenings out are still manageable, albeit many restaurants close their outdoor terraces in the hottest months of the year, and many seasonal events have closed.

What you will find is that you can pick up a bargain on your accommodation from June through to August.
Hotels still look to fill their rooms in the off-peak season, and you’ll certainly avoid the peak Dubai crowds in June.
Waterparks and water-based attractions still remain quite busy in June too, though as water temperatures rise over the month even these outdoor activities can become unbearable for some.
