Vejret i Fujairah i februar

February is the coolest stretch of the emirate's year and regulars set it out as a two-outfit month: shorts and a t-shirt by day at mid-20s, long trousers and a jumper after dark, particularly if the wind gets up. Our row bears it out at 26.7C over 16.4C. Mid-February is the coolest part of it, with a little rain - 12.9mm across 2.9 days - and never actually cold. They also warn the sea is on the cool side in winter, and at 22.4C that is fair. One claim we cannot support: the board says the emirate runs ten degrees under Dubai, where our two rows sit within half a degree of each other. The record: humidity 63 percent, 10 hours of sun and AQI 80.

Forum posters are direct that the broad May-through-October stretch, September included, isn't the ideal window for Fujairah, generally preferring late October through November when it's still warm enough to sunbathe but humidity has finally eased enough to sit outside comfortably in the evening. Posters recommend a hotel-based, air-conditioning-reliant approach for anyone visiting during the hotter months like September, and note October specifically edges out September as noticeably more pleasant if there's flexibility in travel dates. Posters do flag September/October as a strong window specifically for diving, when conditions in the water improve even before the air temperature does. Posters generally rate September as hot and genuinely challenging for a Fujairah visit outside air-conditioned spaces, with October a clearly better-regarded alternative just a few weeks later.

Forum posters describe March as warmer than February but the sea still on the cool side, with the water generally described as cold from January through April - though posters say kids can still comfortably enjoy the beach through February-March, and overall conditions are good for a family trip. Posters name the wider mid-November-to-end-March window as the best overall stretch for the UAE, with January through March also carrying the highest (if still generally low) chance of rain some years, and none at all in others. For anyone diving specifically, posters point to September-October as the better window overall, with October through May recommended for reef and rock diving.
