Sandstorms in Dubai 2025

Able to reduce visibility to about 500 meters, the sandstorms may cause a lot of problems, but they're still a spectacular thing

Best time: April–August

One of the most recent sandstorms happened in April 2015, causing a lot of damage, ruination at the airports, and few traffic accidents. However, sandstorms are vivid signs of how powerful nature is, making it a spectacular sight to watch from the window. Remember to be careful if caught in such a storm, since they are unpredictable and gusty, and thus can be dangerous.

It is strongly recommended to check the weather in Dubai if there is even a remote possibility of sandstorms. With the use of cutting-edge technology, sandstorms are easily predictable, so we suggest that you check the weather forecast to securely plan your outings and other activities.
