Spring Awakens in the UAE: Longer Days, Warmer Breezes

But the changing seasons aren’t the only thing happening in the skies. This month also brings a total lunar eclipse on March 14, a dramatic celestial event visible across the Americas, though sadly out of sight for UAE stargazers. Later, on March 29, a partial solar eclipse will align with the birth of the crescent moon for Shawwal, an important moment in the Islamic calendar. While this too won’t be visible from the Emirates, it serves as a cosmic marker of time’s steady march forward.

For now, though, it’s all about soaking in the spring air before the summer heat sets in. It’s that brief, golden period when the UAE’s beaches are at their best, outdoor cafés feel just right, and alfresco dining is still a delight. Expect balmy evenings, clear skies, and the perfect excuse to take sunset strolls – because, let’s be honest, we all know what’s coming next.

So, before the mercury starts its inevitable climb, make the most of spring’s fleeting charm. Whether it's a weekend escape to the mountains, a quiet afternoon on the coast, or simply lingering a little longer in the sunshine, this is the season to breathe it all in.
