Abu Dhabi, UAE — The United Arab Emirates will experience predominantly clear skies today, according to the UAE’s National Centre of Meteorology (NCM). However, residents should brace for occasional dustiness and rising temperatures as the weather patterns unfold.

The NCM has forecasted that most areas of the country will enjoy clear skies throughout the day, although some regions might encounter partly cloudy conditions.

While sunshine will dominate, brisk winds could stir up dust in certain areas, potentially affecting visibility. Wind speeds are expected to range from 10 to 25 kilometers per hour, with gusts reaching up to 40 kilometers per hour at times.

In terms of temperature, residents in Abu Dhabi should prepare for a sweltering day with temperatures likely to exceed 48 degrees Celsius. Dubai will experience slightly cooler temperatures, hovering around 42 degrees Celsius.

These high temperatures are expected to persist, contributing to elevated levels of humidity, particularly during the night. Humidity levels will remain high until Saturday morning, making the nights feel particularly muggy.

The NCM’s weather report also highlights that the Arabian Gulf and the Sea of Oman will see light to moderate waves today. This is a relatively calm forecast for maritime activities, although sea-goers are advised to remain vigilant in case of sudden changes in conditions.

Meteorologists have urged the public to stay hydrated and avoid prolonged exposure to the sun during peak hours.

The combination of high temperatures and humidity can lead to heat exhaustion and other heat-related illnesses. Residents are advised to take necessary precautions, including wearing light and breathable clothing, using sun protection, and drinking plenty of water.

The dustiness, while not expected to cause widespread disruption, could be a concern for individuals with respiratory conditions. Those affected are encouraged to stay indoors and limit outdoor activities during the dustier periods.

As the UAE continues to experience intense summer heat, this weather pattern is consistent with the seasonal norms of the region. The NCM will provide ongoing updates and alerts as needed to keep the public informed about any significant changes in weather conditions.
