UAE braces for scorching heat as Dubai, Abu Dhabi and Sharjah record temperatures above 40°C this week.
UAE Weather: UAE is witnessing scorching heat with temperatures crossing over 40°C in several areas. According to the National Center of Meteorology (NCM), the weather on Friday will be generally fair with temperatures to rise before cooler conditions are expected to arrive over the weekend. The forecast says that the temperatures will likely hover between 40°C and 46°C in inland areas, while coastal areas will witness temperatures between 36°C and 42°C. Mountainous areas will likely record temperatures of 27°C to 32°C.
According to NCM, winds can reach up to the speed of 40 km/h, which could cool down the heat. Moderate winds are expected to stir the seas during the night in the Arabian Gulf.
On Saturday, NCM forecasts dust and sand to blow in several parts of the UAE due to the strengthening of the southwesterly winds. Temperatures are expected to fall on Saturday.
Cloud formation is likely to take place on Sunday, leading to the development of humid conditions, particularly eastward. In the western region, it is expected that mist formation may take place.
Monday and Tuesday will again see a rise in temperatures in UAE. The weather will be partly cloudy with light to moderate winds. The sea will be calm next week as conditions improve in both the Arabian Gulf and the Oman Sea.
