UAE Weather: Fair to Partly Cloudy Skies Ahead, Temperatures to Dip Slightly
Residents of the United Arab Emirates can expect a respite from the scorching heat as the National Centre of Meteorology (NCM) forecasts fair to partly cloudy skies for Tuesday, June 24, and a slight decrease in temperatures on Wednesday. While the mercury is expected to drop, the country can still anticipate a hot and humid week ahead.
* Maximum temperatures in Dubai and Abu Dhabi are expected to reach 43°C and 39°C, respectively, with minimum temperatures ranging from 28°C to 30°C. * Internal areas can expect temperatures to range between 45°C and 22°C. * The sea will be moderate, becoming rough by evening in the Arabian Gulf and moderate to rough at times in Oman Sea, with wave heights reaching 6 feet offshore. * Fresh northwesterly winds reaching 40 kmph are expected, causing blowing dust and rough sea conditions. * Humidity conditions are expected to increase by night and Thursday morning, leading to a probability of mist formation in some coastal and internal areas.
The NCM has warned of rough sea conditions in the Oman Sea, advising residents and sailors to exercise caution. The heatwave has been a concern for residents, especially vulnerable groups such as the elderly and young children, who are more susceptible to heat-related illnesses. Prolonged exposure to extreme temperatures can lead to serious health conditions, highlighting the importance of taking necessary precautions.
As the UAE enters the holy month of Muharram, residents can expect a slight reprieve from the heat. However, it is essential to remain vigilant and take necessary precautions to avoid heat-related illnesses. With the humidity expected to increase, residents are advised to stay hydrated and take breaks in shaded areas. As the weather forecast continues to evolve, residents are encouraged to stay tuned to local weather updates for the latest information.
