Seasonal calendar
When Should You Use Seasonal Storage in Dubai?
Dubai’s seasons are short and hot, so most seasonal storage follows the summer. Here is what people usually store, and when.
May to June, before the summer
Store patio furniture, BBQs, camping gear and beach kit that you won’t use in the heat, and anything you don’t want to leave in an empty home while you travel.
June to September, the summer away
Store your belongings while you’re abroad, and give up an extra room or storeroom you’re paying for.
September to October, after the summer
Collect outdoor gear for the cooler months, and store winter travel clothes you’ve just used.
October to April, the cool season
Store summer-only items, and keep festive decorations stored between celebrations.
Around each festival
Collect Ramadan, Eid, Diwali or Christmas decorations a few weeks before, and return them afterwards.
