UAE Weather Update: Heat Remains as Humidity Approaches
The National Centre of Meteorology (NCM) has forecasted fair to partly cloudy skies across the UAE for Sunday, August 30. While daytime conditions will remain hot, residents should prepare for increased humidity during the night and into Monday morning, particularly in western regions where there is a notable risk of fog or mist. Humidity levels are anticipated to fluctuate throughout the day, generally hovering between 20 and 70 percent across the major emirates.
Temperatures will continue to climb, with the mercury expected to hit as high as 49°C in certain locations. Abu Dhabi is forecast to reach a peak of 46°C, while Dubai and Sharjah can expect maximums of 42°C and 43°C, respectively. Light to moderate winds, blowing from the southeast to northeast, may bring gusts of up to 35kmph, potentially kicking up dust in some areas. Meanwhile, sea conditions in both the Arabian Gulf and the Oman Sea are expected to remain slight.
