What the community said
One traveler said August heat felt similar to Turkey in July-August and was manageable for them. They specifically mentioned decent cocktails and white wine at the hotel, suggesting this season works better for a relaxed resort stay than long daytime walks.

A practical family routine for August was: Kite Beach in the morning, lunch and indoor hotel time during the hottest hours, then an evening walk on Palm Jumeirah. The family said this schedule worked well despite the summer heat.

There was positive feedback about staying at Le Méridien in late July to early August: the weather was described as good, waves only bothered them for a couple of days, and the pool was a useful backup. Service and food were especially praised, so this type of trip suits travelers choosing a hotel with strong on-site facilities.
