Is October a good time to visit Dubai?

Paul I visited Dubai during the October half-term school holidays and the weather was perfect. The hot sunny days are perfect for lounging around the pool, beach or waterpark and the warm evenings are great for wandering around the downtown areas. Many of the shops and restaurants away from the big hotels are indoors, so it doesn't matter what the temperate is. Answered by Paul

How hot is it in Dubai during October?

Expect heat in Dubai during October. The temperature hits about 35℃ during the day, falling away to a balmy 28℃ at night. The UV index will be high at this time of year, so protection against skin and eye damage is needed. Try to limit exposure between 10am and 4pm. Apply broad spectrum SPF 30+ sunscreen every few hours, even if it's cloudy, or more frequently after sweating or swimming, and wear UV-blocking sunglasses too, and bear in mind that bright surfaces, such as sand and water increase UV exposure.

You're unlikely to experience any strong winds. Expect a light breeze that picks up slightly at times in October. With moderate humidity, any breeze will have a very welcome cooling effect.
