Dubai: Residents across the UAE are being urged to stay indoors as dangerously high temperatures and intense heat continue to bake the region.
According to AccuWeather, Dubai is experiencing very hot and hazy conditions today, with temperatures peaking at 44°C. The heat is considered dangerous, especially for vulnerable groups and outdoor workers. The evening will remain clear and very warm, with overnight lows of 35°C.
In Abu Dhabi, the weather is even more severe. Under brilliant sunshine, the capital is expected to hit a scorching 46°C. Like Dubai, conditions are dangerously hot, and the public is advised to avoid outdoor exposure during peak hours. Tonight’s low is forecast at 34°C, under clear skies.
The extreme heat follows an scorching temperature reading of 51.8°C recorded yesterday in Sweihan, Al Ain, at 3pm, according to the National Center of Meteorology (NCM)—one of the highest temperatures recorded in the country this year.
The NCM also forecasts fair to partly cloudy skies today across the UAE, with a chance of convective cloud formation over eastern and southern regions, possibly bringing localized rainfall. Coastal and inland areas in the west may see increased humidity overnight and into Sunday morning, with fog or mist formation likely.
Winds will be light to moderate, occasionally freshening during the day and causing blowing dust in exposed areas. The Arabian Gulf and Oman Sea are expected to remain calm.
Authorities are urging residents to take precautions, stay hydrated, and avoid prolonged exposure to the sun.
