The ideal time to visit Umm Al Quwain, one of the seven emirates in the United Arab Emirates, is during the cooler months from November to March. During this period, the weather is pleasantly moderate, making it suitable for exploring the outdoor activities and attractions that the emirate has to offer. Daytime temperatures typically hover around 18°C to 25°C (64°F to 77°F), which is perfect for enjoying the beautiful beaches, mangroves, and the Umm Al Quwain lagoon without the intense heat that characterizes the summer months.
While the peak tourist season is in the winter months when the climate is most comfortable, visiting during the shoulder months of October and April might offer you the benefit of lesser crowds with still fairly enjoyable weather. However, keep in mind that temperatures will start climbing as you move towards the summer, with April seeing highs that can reach up to 35°C (95°F). In contrast, the summer months from June to September are extremely hot and humid, with temperatures often exceeding 40°C (104°F), and are generally considered off-peak for tourism in Umm Al Quwain.
