According to weather experts, winter in the UAE will officially come to an end on March 20, 2026, when the spring equinox marks the astronomical start of spring. This is the point when the sun crosses the equator, making day and night roughly equal in length, a scientifically recognized seasonal shift. Many residents may notice temperatures rising gradually before this date as February turns into March, even though the cooler winter months typically feel strongest between mid-December and mid-February.
Meteorologists point out that while astronomical definitions set clear calendar dates, local climates can shift in ways that make winter feel shorter or longer. For example, daytime temperatures often begin climbing steadily as the season progresses, and by early spring many parts of the UAE see warmer weather and fewer cold spells. Despite this, March 20 remains the official end of winter in terms of seasonal classification.
