Residents of the United Arab Emirates should brace for high temperatures and potentially challenging weather conditions over the coming days. Forecasts indicate temperatures could soar to 46°C in some inland areas on Saturday, with coastal regions seeing slightly cooler highs between 36°C and 41°C. Mountainous areas are expected to experience temperatures ranging from 29°C to 35°C.
The heat is accompanied by high humidity, which could reach up to 95%, increasing the likelihood of fog or mist forming overnight and into the early morning hours, particularly in coastal and inland areas. Visibility might be reduced from late Saturday through Sunday morning due to these conditions.
Weather patterns are expected to remain generally fair to partly cloudy, with light to moderate winds prevailing. However, occasional stronger gusts up to 35 km/h are possible, and the Sea of Oman may experience moderate to rough conditions at times, despite generally slight sea conditions elsewhere.
The UAE’s weather services predict that these conditions will persist throughout the coming week. Starting Monday afternoon, the eastern parts of the country may see increased cloud development, with the potential for convective clouds forming. The pattern of fog or mist during overnight and early morning hours could continue through at least Wednesday and Thursday.
This forecast serves as a reminder for residents to remain cautious, especially during periods of reduced visibility due to fog, and to stay hydrated as temperatures rise. Keeping abreast of local weather updates will be crucial for those needing to plan their activities around these conditions.
