Weather in Dubai in August
August in Dubai is the hard heat. Outdoor plans belong to the ends of the day. The middle is for indoors or water.
In UAE, this is how Dubai actually wears August, not how a country centroid would. August is the peak of the warm side of the year in Dubai. If you wanted the gentlest heat, this is not that month.

What to expect
Daytime
Fierce heat in Dubai in August. Start early. Hide in the middle. Come out again when the sun drops.
This is not a month for a packed walking itinerary. Water, shade, and a schedule that admits the climate is in charge.
Rain
Rain is not the story in Dubai in August. Pack for sun. A shower would be news, not a plan.
Do not build the trip around weather windows. Build it around shade if it is hot, and around getting outside if it is not.
Evening
Evenings stay warm.
