Day-by-Day Forecast: February 8–14, 2026
Sunday, February 8 — Sunny and Warm
A textbook Dubai winter day. Clear skies from sunrise (6:52 AM) to sunset (6:05 PM), with temperatures climbing from 15°C at dawn to 25°C by early afternoon. Humidity sits at a comfortable 50%, and there is virtually no wind. This is ideal weather for outdoor activities: a morning desert safari, afternoon at the beach, or a stroll along the Dubai Marina promenade as the sun sets over the Arabian Gulf. The water temperature of 22°C is refreshing but swimmable for those accustomed to Mediterranean or warmer waters.
Monday, February 9 — Clear, Pleasant
More of the same excellent conditions. High of 25°C under clear skies. Light breeze from the southeast at 10 km/h provides a pleasant cooling effect. Excellent visibility means views from the Burj Khalifa observation deck (At The Top, on the 124th floor) will be spectacular — on clear February days, you can see all the way to the Iranian coastline across the Gulf. Night temperatures drop to 14°C, comfortable for outdoor dining.
Tuesday, February 10 — Sunny, Slightly Warmer
Temperatures edge up to 26°C as a warm air mass settles over the region. Skies remain clear with nine hours of sunshine. Humidity drops to 47%, making this the driest and most comfortable day of the week. A perfect day for the outdoor theme parks — Atlantis Aquaventure, the Dubai Parks complex, or a round of golf at one of the city's championship courses. The beaches at JBR and Kite Beach will be busy but comfortable.
Wednesday, February 11 — Clear, Continued Warm
The warm spell continues with another sunny day, high of 26°C. Slight increase in high-level cloud during the afternoon, but this produces only atmospheric enhancement — dramatic skies rather than any threat of rain. Wind remains light. This is an excellent day for a dhow cruise through Dubai Creek at sunset, watching the gold souks and spice markets illuminated from the water. Or venture to the Al Fahidi Historic District for a glimpse of old Dubai before the skyline transformed.
Thursday, February 12 — Warm, Light Haze Possible
High of 25°C with the possibility of some morning haze or mist, particularly along the coast. This is common in February when the relatively cool sea surface meets warm daytime air. The haze typically burns off by 10 AM, after which skies clear. Humidity rises slightly to 55%. Outdoor activities remain fully viable. Consider the Dubai Miracle Garden (the world's largest flower garden, at its peak in February), the Museum of the Future, or a day trip to Abu Dhabi's Louvre museum (90 minutes by car).
Friday, February 13 — Sunny and Pleasant
Dubai's weekend begins (Friday-Saturday is the UAE weekend). Clear skies, high of 25°C, light winds. Friday mornings are special in Dubai — the city has a relaxed energy, brunch culture is huge (the famous Friday brunch at Atlantis The Palm or Jumeirah Al Qasr is a Dubai institution), and the beaches are at their liveliest. As the day cools toward evening, the Global Village — an enormous multicultural festival park open from October through April — makes for an entertaining way to spend the night.
Saturday, February 14 — Valentine's Day: Perfect Weather
Valentine's Day arrives with arguably the best weather of the week: clear skies, 26°C, calm winds, and low humidity. Dubai pulls out all the stops for Valentine's Day, with special experiences ranging from helicopter tours over the Palm Jumeirah to private yacht dinners in the Marina, desert glamping under the stars, and candlelit rooftop dining with views of the Burj Khalifa's evening light show. The Dubai Fountain — the world's largest choreographed fountain — performs every 30 minutes from 6 PM, set to music, and is visible from dozens of surrounding restaurants.

What to Wear and Pack
February in Dubai is a wardrobe-friendly destination. Daytime calls for light, breathable clothing — cotton or linen shirts, shorts or light trousers, and comfortable sandals or walking shoes. The temperature is warm enough for the beach and pool but not so hot that you will be uncomfortable walking around outdoor attractions. Evenings cool to 14–16°C, which feels noticeably fresh after a warm day. Bring a light jacket or cardigan for dinners, especially if you are heading to rooftop venues where the breeze can be cool after dark.
Sunscreen (SPF 30+) is essential even in February — the UV index reaches 7–8, which is high enough to cause sunburn within 30 minutes of unprotected exposure. Sunglasses and a hat are recommended for extended outdoor activities. If you plan to visit mosques (the Jumeirah Mosque offers tours) or more traditional areas of the city, modest dress is required — cover shoulders and knees.
One item many visitors forget: a light cover-up for air-conditioned interiors. Dubai's malls, taxis, and restaurants are aggressively air-conditioned year-round, and the temperature difference between the warm outside and the cool interior can be jarring. A pashmina or light scarf serves double duty as warmth layer indoors and modesty cover for mosque visits.
Top Activities for This Week
Outdoor Experiences
February weather makes outdoor Dubai accessible in ways that summer simply does not. The desert is at its most beautiful in winter, and a morning balloon ride over the golden dunes at sunrise is an unforgettable experience. Dubai's beaches — particularly Kite Beach, JBR Beach, and La Mer — are at their most enjoyable in February's gentle warmth. Water sports including jet skiing, parasailing, and flyboarding operate daily. For something more serene, kayaking through the mangroves at Ras Al Khor Wildlife Sanctuary (where you might spot flamingos feeding in the shallows) is a hidden gem.
Architectural and Cultural Highlights
The Burj Khalifa (828 metres, 163 floors) is the obvious headliner, but Dubai's architectural ambitions extend far beyond a single tower. The Museum of the Future, opened in 2022, is both architecturally stunning and intellectually fascinating. The Dubai Frame — a 150-metre-tall picture frame that offers views of both old and new Dubai — is a uniquely clever concept. For culture, the Al Fahidi Historical Neighbourhood and the Dubai Museum in Al Fahidi Fort provide context for how this city transformed from a modest fishing village to a global metropolis in just 50 years.
Shopping
Dubai is a shopping destination of serious proportions. The Dubai Mall — home to over 1,200 stores, an aquarium, an ice rink, and a dinosaur skeleton — is more theme park than shopping centre. Mall of the Emirates houses Ski Dubai, an indoor ski slope where you can snowboard or meet penguins while it is 25°C outside. The traditional souks (gold souk, spice souk, textile souk) along Dubai Creek offer a more atmospheric, negotiation-driven shopping experience. February is also sale season, with the Dubai Shopping Festival running through January and early February, and many retailers maintaining discounted prices well into the month.
Getting Around Dubai
The Dubai Metro is clean, modern, and efficient, running two lines that connect most major attractions. The Red Line runs from Dubai Marina through Downtown and the airport; the Gold Line connects to Dubai Creek and Deira. Taxis are metered and affordable by Western standards. Ride-hailing apps (Uber and Careem) work seamlessly. For the Marina and JBR area, the Dubai Tram connects the waterfront. The abras — traditional wooden water taxis — cross Dubai Creek for just 1 AED (about $0.27) and are both transport and tourist experience in one.
