March is the hinge of the UAE year. Highs move from the high twenties at the start into the middle thirties by the end, the sea warms to the point where it stops being refreshing, and the last genuinely pleasant afternoons of March 2028 are spent in the knowledge that they are the last of them until October.
The 31 days of March 2028 carry no public holiday fixed to a date, so the count rests on the weekends unless Eid Al Fitr falls inside the month. Ramadan, where it reaches into March, removes no days from the count at all — it shortens every one of them by two hours instead, which is a different kind of subtraction and does not appear in the figure above.
March 2028 runs to 31 days and closes the first quarter of a year of 366. Nine months remain, five of them summer, and the next public holiday fixed to a date rather than to the moon is not until 2 December, at the far end of the calendar.
