Area and Climate

Compared to the other emirates in the United Arab Emirates, Fujairah has a beautiful climate. Here's a breakdown of what makes it unique:
Subtropical Desert with a Twist:
Fujairah technically falls under the category of a subtropical desert climate (BWh) according to the Köppen climate classification. However, the influence of the Hajar Mountains and its coastal location create a more nuanced climate than a typical desert.
Milder Winters:
While it does get hot in the summer, Fujairah experiences pleasant winters with comfortable temperatures averaging around 25°C (77°F) from December to March. This makes it a popular tourist destination during these months, especially for those seeking respite from the scorching summer heat of other emirates.
Mountain Moderation:
The Hajar Mountains play a significant role in moderating Fujairah's climate. The mountains provide a cooler backdrop, buffering some of the extreme temperatures felt in the desert regions.
More Rainfall:
Fujairah receives slightly more rainfall than other emirates in the UAE, averaging around 111 mm (4.4 inches) annually. While it's not a rainforest by any means, this occasional rainfall helps to create lush oases and wadis within the mountains.
