Climate

The climate is subtropical to tropical with very little annual rainfall, which mostly falls in winter; often the rain evaporates before it reaches the ground. It is extremely humid from May to October. The Shamal (“The Northern”), a north-westerly wind that brings a lot of sand and dust with it, blows especially in winter and early summer. It happens that sandstorms blow from Iraq into the UAE. In late summer, a humid southeast wind, known as Sharqi (“The Eastern One”), creates an uncomfortable climate, especially in the coastal region. Inland there is a dry desert climate. In the Hajjar Mountains it is noticeably cooler due to the altitude. On Jebel Jais, a mountain near Ra’s al-Khaimah, it has snowed twice since weather records began.
