emirates7 - The UAE is currently experiencing harsh weather conditions, with extreme heat, poor air quality, and low visibility affecting much of the country. AccuWeather reports that temperatures in both Dubai and Abu Dhabi are expected to reach 40°C today under clear skies, with nighttime temperatures staying high at around 34°C.
Air quality has worsened significantly, leading to health alerts. Individuals with respiratory sensitivities may experience immediate symptoms such as difficulty breathing and throat irritation. Even healthy individuals are being advised to avoid extended periods outdoors due to heavy dust and pollution.
Authorities have issued firm advisories urging residents to remain indoors, especially on Friday, when temperatures could soar to 44°C in some areas under scorching and dry conditions.
The National Center of Meteorology (NCM) has also issued a warning about potential fog early Thursday morning, which could drastically reduce visibility in coastal and inland areas between 1:30am and 8:30am. Rising humidity levels overnight and into Friday morning may also lead to mist, further affecting early travel conditions.
Additionally, the NCM forecasts a chance of convective cloud development over eastern parts of the country, possibly bringing light to moderate rainfall. With a mix of dust, high heat, humidity, and the potential for rain, officials are urging the public to take precautions and stay updated through official channels.
