The UAE is currently experiencing the peak of its summer season, known locally as Jamrat Al Qayth. This 40-day period, which began on July 3 and runs through August 10, is historically characterized by blistering heat and arid conditions across the Arabian Peninsula. Friday’s forecast reflects this, with fair to partly cloudy skies expected across the country and the potential for low-hanging clouds over eastern regions during the early morning hours.

Residents in Abu Dhabi and Dubai should prepare for another scorching day, with temperatures expected to climb to 42°C and 41°C, respectively. The nights will offer little relief, as thermometers drop to around 30°C to 31°C. While light to moderate winds, blowing from the northwest and occasionally shifting to the southeast, may provide slight movement, gusts could still reach 30 km/h. Sea conditions are anticipated to remain calm throughout the day in both the Arabian Gulf and the Oman Sea.
