Other weather patterns that are common in Dubai in October
Early morning fog commonly starts to occur from late October as the cooling sea breezes mix overnight with the warm desert air. This layer of fog tends to burn off by mid-morning but can cause havoc on the roads and at the airports on a bad day.
The occurrence of rain and thunderstorms is rare in October but not utterly unheard, but certainly no need to pack your ‘brolly just in case. The UV rays are still most likely to dominate over clouds.
