The Last Phase Of Winter

Right now, we’re in what’s known as Scorpion Season, the third and final phase of winter. This period, which began on February 10 and lasts until March 20, signals the shift toward hotter days. Expect temperatures to fluctuate – some days will still feel cool, while others will remind you never to leave your Stanley filled with ice-cold water at home again. But not all is lost – there’s also a chance of increased rainfall during this time. My biggest tip would be to enjoy outdoor Iftars during Ramadan as much as you can, because sooner than you know it walking to your car at night will also be marked with sweat-stained shirts.

Over the next few weeks, don’t be alarmed as weather gradually heats up, and once summer arrives, high temperatures will go back to being our daily norm! Stay tuned to Gulf Buzz, as we’ll keep giving you updates on when UAE officially declares it’s summer!

And just before I go, even if the sun is hidden behind the clouds for a few days don’t forget to wear your sunscreen!
