Ras Al Khaimah may see a shower or two today, December 30, 2025. Come New Year’s Eve and New Year’s Day, temperatures will drop to lows of 13°C, with hazy sunshine and clear skies.
So, by the looks of it, on the weather front, currently, all we need to worry about is the cold in the UAE this NYE, so if you do have outdoor plans, cover up to stay warm.
Since the weather can be pretty unpredictable, we advise staying up to date with the latest forecast through official sources, and What’s On will also be here right to give you important updates.
Traffic, on the other hand…
Those looking to head off to the magical celebrations of Downtown Dubai to ring in 2026 at a fancy restaurant or to catch the stunning Burj Khalifa firework display are advised to start their trips early and to use public transportation wherever possible.
For all the road closures, head here. Using the Dubai Metro? Here are the NYE timings.
