In Dubai, temperatures begin at about 20°C in January and gradually increase to a peak of nearly 40°C in August before declining to around 20°C in December. Paris, on the other hand, starts at a much cooler temperature of approximately 5°C in January. It rises steadily to around 25°C in July, which is the warmest month, and then drops back to about 5°C by the end of the year.
