Dubai, with its stunning skyline, luxurious way of life, and constant sunlight, is a city in full motion. Taking a drive around Dubai is no game, however, especially on days when weather is uncertain. Your safety means the world to us at 911 Rent A Car and we want to have you prepared for any driving scenario on the road. We shall explain below how weather can impact your driving in Dubai and how to tackle it safely.
1. Extreme Heat
The Dubai summer heat temperature, which is usually above 45°C, will drain your car and your comfort while driving. Blowouts, engine heat, and draining the battery are a guarantee owing to prolonged heat exposure. All our cars undergo thorough checks at 911 Rent A Car so that they can handle the heat. Tire pressure, coolant level, and air conditioner systems have to be examined before taking the car for a drive.
2. Sandstorms
Sandstorms occur frequently in Dubai, particularly between seasons. Sandstorms cause low visibility, which is risky to drive under. In case you find yourself driving during a sandstorm, slow down, employ your fog lights and headlights, and also leave a considerable distance from the car ahead of you. At 911 Rent A Car, our cars have modern safety features to allow you to drive during a sandstorm safely.
3. Rain and Flooding
Rain is rare in Dubai, but when it occurs, it can make the roads slippery and cause flash flooding. Drive slowly, do not brake hard, and steer clear of water-logged areas. Our vehicles are equipped with anti-lock braking systems (ABS) and traction control to improve driving on slippery roads.
4. Foggy Conditions
During winter, it is expected that there will be dense early morning fog that can severely impair visibility. Drive slowly with low-beam headlights, do not attempt to use high speeds, and keep proper distance from other vehicles. 911 Rent A Car has vehicles with luxury lighting systems that offer much improved visibility during the time of fog.
