I was there in January 2011. Felt great after arriving from Washington DC. I walked all over the city the first night with a short sleeve shirt on relishing the brief return of summer I got from winter in North America. What a beautiful place. It reminded me of Miami weather in winter with just the right amount of warmth after coming from our winter. At night it didn't seem to cool off rapidly like a desert. Felt somewheat humid at night to me.

Well, April, and October are excellent and have my A+ ideal summer weather.
However, the rest of the year is much further away from annual weather preferences. Too hot in May to September, and not enough clouds, rain, precipitation outside of July/August.
I prefer warm to hot Mediterranean extremely sunny, low precipitation middle of summer months, such as average highs in the low to mid 90s, lows in the low to mid 60s, very low humidity/dew points, some breezy windy days, powerful high uv sunshine index, and ocean temperatures in the 70s. Sun Lounging on a warm hot beach, usually more clear sky blue water, swimming somewhere else than a pool, jet skiing, snorkeling in coral reefs, sail on a boat, surfing, cruise ship as a travel option, water parks, and music concerts on warm hot beaches. Early and Late Summer in April, and October goes very well with those standards in Dubai.
However, the remaining of the year I prefer much more 4 seasons weather, more variation, and an even mix of hot, warm, mild, and cold temperatures in annual weather. June to September is the only time where I really need a lot of warm/hot weather.
Overall, Dubai gets a C+/C. I might select Dubai compared to most Oceanic climates such as London/Vancouver/some of New Zealand/Ireland/Southern Scandinavia, especially with anemic short summers below average high/low of 75/60, below upper 90s record highs, and too cloudy in annual weather below 2,100 annual sunshine hours.
