When compared to neighbouring months, August's weather mirrors the extreme heat experienced in July, though nighttime temperatures are slightly cooler, leading to a marginally lower overall average.

Despite the relentless heat, activities and life in the United Arab Emirates carry on, with adjustments to accommodate the harsh weather.
