Some tips to protect your electronics from heat damage

When travelling to Dubai, many people completely overlook the incredibly hot temperatures, and how this affects their gadgets and electronic devices. This is a mistake as it could severely damage of destroy your important pieces of technology unless you take precautions. These things are going to be covered in this article.

Keep them cool

If you are using a laptop in Dubai, then try to keep it as cool as possible. Use a laptop stand so that air can circulate around it. If you can find those with a fan then it will help even more, especially if you are working outdoors.

Safe range of temperatures

When it comes to laptops, you need to keep them inside a safe range of temperatures. In specific terms, the temperatures should be from 50 to 95 degrees Fahrenheit or 10 to 35 degrees Celsius. One other thing to keep in mind is that you need to let the laptop (or other electronic device) acclimate to the indoor temperature before you switch it on. This is important when you bring the laptop indoors from the hot outside temperatures in Dubai.

The heat of the sun

As the sun in Dubai is so bright and direct, you need to be very careful about leaving your electronic devices in direct line. If they are exposed to the incredible heat of the Dubai daytime they will likely be ruined or damaged. The key point to remember is that you should never leave the device in direct sunlight, whether it is powered up or shut down.

One consideration that you can make is to use a laptop hood if you want to use your laptop outdoors. Try to find a suitable location that will shade you and the laptop, and a place that is also cooler than the general outdoors.

Try to use your electronics indoors

While you are in Dubai, try to use your electronic devices in an air-conditioned room whenever possible. If you are able to do this, then you will find yourself without issues. The most important factor to consider is how you store your device when not using it. If you are planning to go outside, then store your device in a cool location. If you do need to take an electronic device with you, then aim to use a holder or case, which prevents direct sunlight from targeting it.

If you use the tips given above, you will be able to use your electronic devices without problem in Dubai. Ensure that you pay attention to where your electronic devices are placed and never leave them in direct sunlight.
