emirates7 - Residents across the Emirates are facing another day of sweltering heat and dusty skies, with reduced visibility reported in several regions. Both the National Center of Meteorology (NCM) and AccuWeather confirmed that high temperatures and hazy conditions will persist across major cities.
The NCM has issued a fog advisory for Monday, September 1, warning that visibility could plunge to near zero between 2 a.m. and 8:30 a.m. The alert affects coastal and inland areas, with authorities urging drivers to exercise caution during early morning commutes.
Dense fog was detected over Al Hamra and along Sheikh Khalifa Bin Zayed International Road—from Al Mugheirah Bridge to Jabal Al Dhannah Bridge in Al Dhafra—as well as in Um Laylah, Habshan, and Madinat Zayed. Motorists are strongly advised to drive carefully in these zones.
In Dubai, conditions will remain hazy and dusty, with highs of 40°C and lows of 31°C tonight. The current temperature is 35°C, though it feels closer to 38°C under the sun. Abu Dhabi will be slightly hotter, with highs reaching 41°C and lows matching Dubai at 31°C. While the air temperature stands at 32°C, the “feels-like” reading is a sweltering 44°C.
Nationwide outlook: Inland areas to sizzle
The NCM forecast notes fair to partly cloudy skies overall, with possible convective cloud formation in the east and south by afternoon, indicating unstable weather conditions.
Inland regions: 43°C to 47°C
Coastal and island areas: 37°C to 44°C
Mountainous zones: 31°C to 36°C
On Sunday, the country’s peak temperature reached 47.6°C in Hamim, Al Dhafra, at 3 p.m.
Humidity, winds, and sea conditions
Humidity levels are expected to rise overnight and into Tuesday morning, heightening the chance of fog or mist. Winds will blow from the southeast to northwest at 10–25 km/h, occasionally gusting up to 40 km/h. Sea conditions will remain slight in both the Arabian Gulf and the Oman Sea.
Health and safety reminders
Authorities are urging the public to:
Avoid outdoor exposure during peak heat hours.
Drink plenty of fluids and limit strenuous activity.
Drive carefully in fog-affected areas.
Follow official weather updates.
With extreme heat and unstable visibility set to continue, residents are advised to take extra precautions as the UAE endures the toughest stretch of the summer season.
