Baku, on the Caspian coast, is an easy short break from the UAE and milder than the Gulf for much of the year. Here is how the seasons compare.
Spring and autumn (April to June, September to October): the best times
Mild, comfortable weather and fewer crowds make spring and autumn ideal for exploring the old city and the coast. Early autumn also brings pleasant Caspian evenings.
Summer (July to August)
Warm and sometimes humid by the sea, but still a relief from peak Gulf heat, which makes Baku a popular UAE summer escape. This is a busier, pricier period, so book earlier.
Winter (November to March)
Cool and windy, with quiet streets and lower fares. Atmospheric for a city break if you do not mind the chill.
