From May to September, the humidity is extremely high and daytime temperatures frequently top 40°C (105°F) in Abu Dhabi and Dubai. In the eastern coastal cities of Fujairah and Khor Fakkan, the climate is somewhat less harsh due to the occasional gentle wind. Average daily highs fall to the more relaxing 22-30°C (70-85°F) range the rest of the year, with December and January being the most comfortable months, despite the fact that it can be extremely windy in Abu Dhabi, Dubai and Sharjah and incredibly cold in the desert areas around Al-Ain. Rainfall is non-existent between May and October, and insignificant for much of the rest of the year.
