Sunset and Daylight Changes

On the day of the equinox, sunset will be at 6:19 PM, based on the Maghrib prayer timings. Following the equinox, expect shorter days with less daylight.

Continued Warmth

Despite the official end of summer, Dubai will continue to experience high temperatures for a while longer. This is due to the ongoing 40-day transition period, which follows the appearance of the Suhail Star at the end of August.
