emirates7 - The UAE is enduring an intense heatwave this week, with temperatures climbing steadily and health officials urging the public to take precautions against the extreme heat and dusty conditions.
In Dubai, AccuWeather’s forecast for today predicts sunny and very hot weather, with daytime highs of 42°C and nighttime lows of 32°C under clear skies. This morning, temperatures were already at 36°C and sunny. Conditions will become even hotter later in the week, peaking at 46°C on Friday and 44°C on Saturday, making prolonged outdoor activities risky.
Abu Dhabi is experiencing similar conditions, with sunny skies and a high of 43°C today, dropping to 32°C at night. As of this morning, the capital recorded 35°C and sunny weather.
The extreme temperatures are compounded by dusty conditions and poor air quality, prompting health warnings, especially for vulnerable groups. Authorities recommend limiting outdoor exposure during peak heat hours and staying indoors, particularly on Friday and Saturday when highs are expected to reach 45°C and 46°C.
According to the National Center of Meteorology (NCM), today’s weather will be mostly fair to partly cloudy, with a chance of convective rain clouds forming over eastern areas in the afternoon. Inland regions can expect highs between 42°C and 47°C, coastal areas between 41°C and 45°C, and mountain areas a cooler 32°C to 37°C.
Yesterday, the highest temperature recorded nationwide was 47.2°C at Barakah 2 in Al Dhafra at 1:45 p.m.
Winds will remain light to moderate, occasionally strengthening during the day to stir up dust, blowing from the southeast to northwest at 10–25 km/h, with gusts of up to 40 km/h. The sea will remain slight in both the Arabian Gulf and the Oman Sea.
