Two Ways to Know When the Summer Is Over
To be cognizant that summer has ended, one has to consider two distinct means of season measurement. The meteorological method splits the year into three-month seasons according to temperature behavior throughout the year, hence making August the last month of summer. But the astronomical method, considering seasons as a measure of Earth’s revolution around the sun and axis tilt, gives the exact end date.
Ibrahim Al Jarwan, Chairman Board Emirates Astronomical Society and member Arab Union for Space and Astronomy Sciences, has verified that summer season in Dubai started astronomically on 21st June with the summer solstice and would conclude precisely three months and one day 93 days on September 22.
Summer 2025 Weather Patterns
Dubai summer season 2025 has been marked by temperature highs of 41 to 43 degrees Celsius, with dryness as well as working winds. The UAE had its longest day of daylight between June 18 and June 24, at a maximum of 13 hours and 43 minutes.
Al Jarwan says humidity will hit its highest point around the middle of the month, with heat intensified even more by the synergy of high temperature and high humidity. Reprieve is at hand, however. Temperatures will start cooling a bit from late August with the onset of the Suhail star, which traditionally marks the end of the period of intense heat.
Since summer officially concludes on September 22, Dubai will enter autumn and the autumnal equinox will fall on Tuesday, September 23.
Making the Most of Dubai’s Last Summer Days
While they wait for 2025 summer season in Dubai to pass, natives and visitors alike can utilize any of the indoor alternatives available to provide them with relief from the heat. One can resort to cooling off at Ski Dubai in Mall of the Emirates, where visitors can engage in snow activities and be introduced to penguins, or have world-class water slides and lazy river at Atlantis Aquaventure.
For entertainment, there’s respite from Roxy Xtreme cinema in the form of the Middle East’s biggest screen standing at 28 meters tall by 15.1 meters wide. Culture buffs can visit the Museum of the Future with its interactive AI encounters or plunge into the immersive House of Hype experience at Dubai Mall.
Foodies would not want to Miss Time Out Market in Souk Al Bahar, where the city’s top food vendors all reside under one air-conditioned roof and kids can try desserts and play interactive games at the Museum of Candy.
Looking Ahead
As summer officially comes to a close, warmer outdoor activities and early evening temperatures soon will become available to Dubai residents in a step-by-step, gradual phase. Astronomical confirmation gives individuals scheduling outdoor events and activities for coming weeks a guarantee.
As Dubai moves away from its hot summer months into its relatively more tolerable autumn months, the city is set to once again rekindle its outdoor lifestyle and experience warm weather again for both natives and visitors.
