The climate of Ras al Khaimah (United Arab Emirates)
The emirate of Ras al Khaimah has a desert climate with relatively dry
and warm winters and very dry and hot summers. Ras al Khaimah gets a
little more rain than the better known emirates of Dubai and Abu
Dhabi. This is mostly caused by the mountains on the south side of the
city. During the summer months temperatures are very high. Combined
with relatively high humidity figures this makes for a muggy feel and
causes you to sweat a lot.

More climate information
Climate figures are very useful but don’t present a general impression
of the climate and the eventual weather circumstances within a certain
period. The figures don’t always reflect the chance of wintry weather,
extreme heat or hurricanes. That is why we offer useful extra climate
information for each month of the year:
