Sunny blue skies can be expected throughout the year. The months of June through September are generally extremely hot and humid with maximum temperatures averaging above 40 °C (104 °F), mainly occurring during the peak summer months of July and August. During this time, sandstorms occur intermittently, in some cases reducing visibility to a few meters.<sup id="cite_ref-30" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-30"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>29<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> Due to high humidity, especially in coastal areas, the heat index (or “feels-like” temperature) can be significantly higher than the actual air temperature. Dust storms are common during the hot, dry months, affecting air quality and visibility.</p><figure class="mw-default-size mw-halign-left" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:Umm_Al_Nar_Cup.jpg" class="mw-file-description"><img alt="" src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/2/24/Umm_Al_Nar_Cup.jpg/170px-Umm_Al_Nar_Cup.jpg" decoding="async" width="170" height="227" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/2/24/Umm_Al_Nar_Cup.jpg/255px-Umm_Al_Nar_Cup.jpg 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/2/24/Umm_Al_Nar_Cup.jpg/340px-Umm_Al_Nar_Cup.jpg 2x" data-file-width="1536" data-file-height="2048" /></a><figcaption>Decorated stone cup from <a href="/wiki/Umm_al-Nar_culture" class="mw-redirect" title="Umm al-Nar culture">Umm Al Nar site</a>, Abu Dhabi on display at the <a href="/wiki/Louvre_Abu_Dhabi" title="Louvre Abu Dhabi">Louvre Abu Dhabi</a></figcaption></figure><p>The cooler season is from November to March, which ranges between moderately hot to mild.

Following the urban planning ideals of the time period, the city has high-density tower blocks and wide grid-pattern roads.<sup id="cite_ref-93" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-93"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>91<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> The population density is at its apex on the most northerly part of the island. At this point, the main streets have a large amount of 20- to 30-story towers. These towers are in a rectangular pattern, and inside is an ordinary grid pattern of roads with low rise buildings such as 2-story villas or 6-story low-rise buildings. </p><p>Due to this planning, a modern city with tall offices, apartment buildings, broad boulevards, and busy shops is present. Principal thoroughfares are the Corniche, Airport Road, Sheikh Zayed Street, Hamdan Street, and Khalifa Street. Abu Dhabi is known in the region for its greenery; the former desert strip today includes numerous parks and gardens. The design of the inner city roads and main roads are quite organised. Starting from the Corniche, all horizontal streets are oddly numbered, while all vertical streets are evenly numbered. Thus, the Corniche is Street No. 1, Khalifa Street is Street No. 3, Hamdan Street is Street No. 5, Electra Street is Street No. 7 and so on. Conversely, <a href="/wiki/Salam_Street" title="Salam Street">Salam Street</a> is St No. 8.<sup id="cite_ref-94" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-94"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>92<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>Mail is generally delivered to post-office boxes only; however, there is door-to-door delivery for commercial organisations. There are many parks throughout the city. Entrance is usually free for children, however, there is often an entrance fee for adults. The Corniche, the city's seaside promenade, is about 10 kilometres (6.2 mi) in length, with gardens, playgrounds, and a BMX/skateboard ring.<sup id="cite_ref-95" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-95"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>93<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>In 2007 the <a href="/wiki/Abu_Dhabi_Urban_Planning_Council" title="Abu Dhabi Urban Planning Council">Abu Dhabi Urban Planning Council</a> (UPC) was established, which is the agency responsible for the future of Abu Dhabi's urban environments and the expert authority behind the visionary Plan Abu Dhabi 2030 Urban Structure Framework Plan that was published in September 2007.<sup id="cite_ref-autogenerated1_54-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-autogenerated1-54"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>52<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> The UPC is also working on similar plans for the regions of Al-Ain and Al-Gharbia. </p><p>Because of the rapid development of Abu Dhabi, a number of challenges to the city's urban organisation have developed, among them: </p> <ul><li>Today, the city's population far surpasses the original estimated maximum population when it was designed.
