Take heart, heat-weary people. The summer, according to the Dubai International Airport Met Office, is more than halfway through.
Residents now have seven or eight weeks of hot and humid temperatures to endure, with ten weeks of the hottest weather in the city now behind them.
"Yes, it's been hotter than before — it's been quite a hot year we've had," said Chris Worger, Met Office duty forecaster, "but things should become better in a matter of weeks now."
Mercury highs in the high 40s will decline to around 35C starting October and just above 30C by November, said Worger.
Met Office figures revealed that average daily temperatures (on annual basis) in Dubai have climbed from 27C during the 1985-1995 decade to 28C during 1995-2005. Some attribute this rise to global warming.
The Met Office has recorded highs of 42C, even hitting 45C earlier in the season, two degrees short of the all-time record high.
"As temperatures begin to fall after the height of the summer there is a sting in the tail for residents of coastal cities," states the Met Office.
"Sea temperatures reach a peak at the end of August and it is during this time that the potential for warm, humid air to be advected to the coast reaches a maximum."
Declining hours of sunlight will also help in cooling Dubai towards autumn.
The Met Office, meanwhile predicts maximum daytime temperatures of 43C with a minimum of 32C in the days ahead.
