Dubai, get ready for a weekend of foggy mornings, cloudy skies, and even a touch of rain! The National Center of Meteorology (NCM) has forecasted foggy conditions on Friday morning (March 15), so expect dreamy misty views that’ll make your morning coffee feel extra cozy.
If you’re wondering what to wear and how to make the most of the weather, we’ve got you covered.
What to Wear? Stay Stylish & Comfortable!
With a change in weather, you need to change your ootds also. Here’s how:
Morning Layers:
Start your day with a light jacket or hoodie—foggy mornings bring a chill, but temperatures will rise later. A stylish coat or a cozy cardigan can add warmth without feeling too heavy.
Afternoon Comfort:
As the temperatures climb, swap out layers for breathable fabrics like cotton and linen to stay cool. Flowy dresses, loose trousers, and light-colored outfits are perfect to beat the midday warmth while still looking chic.
Evening Smart-Casual:
Humidity will be high at night, so avoid heavy fabrics. Opt for airy outfits like maxi dresses, linen shirts, and comfortable sneakers or sandals. If you’re heading out, a breathable yet elegant outfit will keep you feeling fresh and stylish.
For the Rain:
While the showers won’t be heavy, carrying a compact umbrella or a waterproof jacket is a smart move! Stylish waterproof footwear like ankle boots or sneakers with good grip will keep your feet dry.
Accessorize Smartly:
Sunglasses for the day, a light scarf for the evenings, and a crossbody bag to keep essentials handy while navigating the changing weather.
How to Spend the Weekend? Best Activities for This Weather!
Now that your outfits are sorted, let’s talk about making the most of this moody weather! A little rain shouldn’t put a damper on your weekend plans—if anything, it’s the perfect excuse to try something new.
Foggy Mornings? Head to a Rooftop Café!
Nothing beats sipping coffee while watching Dubai’s skyline disappear into the mist. Try Tom&Serg, CÉ LA VI, or The View at The Palm for an unbeatable view. The cooler temperatures also make this the perfect time for an early morning jog along Kite Beach.
Cool, Cloudy Afternoons? Perfect for Desert Adventures!
Book a desert safari or a hike in Hatta—cooler temperatures and soft lighting will make the scenery magical. If adventure isn’t your thing, a picnic at Al Qudra Lakes or a stroll through the lush Dubai Miracle Garden will make for a relaxing outing.
Light Rain? Stroll Through Al Fahidi or La Mer!
The drizzle will add charm to Dubai’s historic district and beachside boardwalks. Visit Al Seef’s charming souks or explore the Dubai Creek waterfront for an unforgettable experience.
Dusty Winds on Sunday? Indoor Fun is the Way to Go!
Plan a movie night at Reel Cinemas, explore the Museum of the Future, or unwind in a luxurious spa at Talise or Anantara. If you’re feeling competitive, try an indoor activity like bowling, escape rooms, or even indoor skiing at Ski Dubai!

Bonus Tips for a Hassle-Free Weekend
- If you’re driving early, be extra cautious—fog can reduce visibility. Keep headlights on low beam and maintain a safe distance.
- Keep an eye on humidity levels, especially if you have evening plans. Hydration is key, so carry a bottle of water and a refreshing facial mist to stay cool.
- Plan a backup indoor activity just in case the rain or winds pick up. Dubai has plenty of options, from indoor theme parks like IMG Worlds of Adventure to cultural experiences at the Etihad Museum.
- Dress in layers so you can adapt to the shifting temperatures throughout the day.
- If heading to the desert or an open area, carry a scarf or mask to protect yourself from dusty winds.
Dubai, whether you’re dressing up for a brunch, heading outdoors, or staying in, this weekend’s weather has a little bit of everything. Stay comfy, stylish, and make the most of it!
