Depends on where you want to go. It will probably be worse than singapore with the heat and strong sun ( the radiant heat from the pavements and roads could make it worse)
However the malls and hotels have good a/cs.

With lounge access the evening snacks and drinks are free ( think singapore standard rather than US standard). You can make a meal of it ( you would get a better meal in a restaurant but the lounge is free)

The beach hotels ( Palm and JBR ) may be some distance from the metro but some JBR hotels are close to the Dubai tram which connects to the metro)

I did like the Conrad Dubai ( good pool., good lounge and across the road by covered walkway from the World Trade Centre metro stop ( machines take notes and cards)In november and march had daily housekeeping

Time of the day is largely irrelevant with the humidity at night reaching extremely unpleasant levels. Taxis are cheap and easily available. The fare from terminal 3 to the Palm Jumeirah area will be AED 150ish. And that's as far as you are likely to go in a single taxi ride.

Requirements for all passengers arriving in Dubai

From 26 February 2022, passengers travelling to Dubai from all countries (GCC included) must fulfil one of the below requirements:

1. Present a valid vaccination certificate(s) reflecting that the passenger is fully vaccinated with a vaccine approved by the WHO or the United Arab Emirates (UAE), and includes a QR code
2. Present a valid negative COVID‑19 PCR test certificate issued within 48 hours after the sample was collected and issued by an approved health service provider with a QR code
3. Present a valid medical certificate issued by the relevant authorities that the passenger has recovered from COVID‑19 within 1 month from the date of recovery to the date of arrival

It is possible to be largely cashless, I only ever use cash here when paying the car cleaners at malls. Besides that I never use cash.

The housekeeping staff will give you as many items you need if you don't want service. But they do a thorough cleaning daily if you want it. There's no covid restrictions other than wearing masks in public areas.

I liked the hotel because there's a full service (including meats and vegetables) grocery store and a pharmacy in the mall on the first floor. No need to leave to get last minute things.

I lived in hotter temperatures before. Like almost 135 degrees Fahrenheit on the Colorado River in imperial dam are of California. Yes.it gets 135 there. And the mosquitoes are so bad they fog the entire area every night in the summer. It's so hot I had a inverter sitting on my vehicle seat unplugged and the cord melted into the seat 😁. I don't think it's that hot but close enough.
