UAE weather: Expect fair skies and highs reaching 47°C
On Saturday, August 1, the UAE is expected to see a mix of fair and partly cloudy conditions across most of the country. While the day will start off mostly clear, the National Centre of Meteorology predicts that cloud cover will gradually build up during the afternoon, specifically over the southern and eastern regions. Residents should anticipate light to moderate breezes, shifting from southeasterly to northwesterly winds that could occasionally reach speeds of 35 kmph.
Temperatures will remain intense, with peaks hitting around 47°C in cities like Abu Dhabi and 46°C in Dubai and Sharjah. As the recent rainy spell fades and the weather system shifts southward, conditions at sea are expected to stay relatively calm in both the Arabian Gulf and the Oman Sea. Despite the lingering summer heat, this transition marks a slight shift from the convective activity that brought scattered showers to the region earlier in the week.
