Residents across the UAE are in for another hot summer day, with temperatures expected to climb as high as 47°C in some parts of the country, according to the National Centre of Meteorology (NCM).

The highest temperatures are forecast in parts of Abu Dhabi, where Al Quaa, Gasyoura and Mezaira are expected to experience sweltering conditions reaching 47°C during the afternoon.

While inland regions face the most intense heat, major cities are likely to see slightly milder temperatures. Dubai and Abu Dhabi are both forecast to reach daytime highs of around 39°C, with conditions remaining hot and humid throughout much of the day.

Relief is expected after sunset, with overnight temperatures dropping to approximately 30°C in Dubai and 29°C in Abu Dhabi.

Dusty conditions expected

Forecasters have also warned of fresh winds developing at times throughout the day.

Southwesterly to northwesterly winds are expected to blow at speeds between 10 and 25 km/h, occasionally strengthening to around 40 km/h. These gusts could trigger blowing dust and sand in exposed areas, potentially affecting visibility in some locations.

Motorists travelling through open desert routes are advised to exercise caution and stay updated on weather conditions throughout the day.

Alert for rough seas

In addition to the heat, the NCM has issued a yellow weather alert for rough sea conditions.

The warning applies to parts of the Arabian Gulf, where strong winds are expected to generate rough waters through Thursday afternoon. The alert remains in effect until 4pm on June 4.

Meanwhile, conditions in the Oman Sea are expected to remain relatively calm, with slight wave activity forecast.

Summer conditions intensify

The latest forecast reflects the UAE’s typical early summer weather pattern, characterised by soaring daytime temperatures, dry conditions and occasional dusty winds.

Authorities continue to advise residents to stay hydrated, limit outdoor activities during peak afternoon hours and take extra precautions when spending extended periods in the sun.

Beachgoers, fishermen and recreational boat users are also encouraged to monitor official marine forecasts and heed weather advisories before heading out to sea.

With temperatures nearing 50°C in some areas, the UAE’s summer season is now firmly underway.

The UAE is expected to experience fair but dusty weather this week, with strong winds, rough sea conditions in the Arabian Gulf and temperatures reaching up to 46°C.

Residents across the UAE can expect a week of generally fair weather, but strong winds and dusty conditions are likely to impact several parts of the country, according to the National Centre of Meteorology (NCM).

Forecasters say fresh winds will continue to sweep across the UAE over the coming days, stirring dust and sand in open areas and occasionally reducing visibility. Meanwhile, sea conditions in the Arabian Gulf are expected to become increasingly rough as the week progresses.

The NCM said current weather patterns are being influenced by weak surface pressure systems combined with an extension of an upper-air high-pressure system, creating stable but windy conditions across the country.

Temperatures are set to remain high, particularly in inland areas where daytime highs could climb between 42°C and 46°C. Coastal and island regions are expected to record temperatures ranging from 35°C to 40°C, while mountainous areas are forecast to see highs between 32°C and 39°C.

Wind speeds are also expected to increase at times, with south-westerly to north-westerly winds reaching up to 40 km/h along coastal areas and as much as 35 km/h inland and across mountainous regions.

While conditions are expected to remain mostly clear and sunny, blowing dust and sand may affect outdoor activities, especially in exposed areas. Residents, motorists and outdoor workers are advised to take necessary precautions during periods of stronger winds.

Marine conditions are also likely to deteriorate during the week. The Arabian Gulf is forecast to remain slight to moderate initially before becoming moderate to rough from Wednesday, with rough seas expected by Friday. In contrast, the Oman Sea is expected to remain relatively calmer.

The latest forecast signals a typical early summer weather pattern for the UAE, marked by soaring temperatures, dry conditions and periodic dust activity driven by seasonal winds.

Authorities continue to advise residents to stay hydrated, avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight during peak afternoon hours and monitor official weather updates, particularly those planning marine activities in the Arabian Gulf.

The National Centre of Meteorology (NCM) has forecast stable weather conditions across the UAE over the coming days, with a gradual drop in temperatures expected in several coastal areas before stronger winds and rougher sea conditions develop early next week.

According to meteorologists, the country remains affected by weak surface pressure systems combined with an upper atmospheric high-pressure extension, helping maintain generally fair conditions across most regions.

Forecasters said Thursday’s weather will remain mostly clear, although low clouds are likely to appear over parts of the eastern coastline during the morning hours. Humidity levels are also expected to increase overnight and into Friday morning in some coastal locations.

Wind activity is forecast to remain light to moderate initially, with sea conditions staying calm in both the Arabian Gulf and the Oman Sea during the next couple of days.

Temperature forecasts indicate that coastal and island areas could record highs between 36°C and 42°C, while internal regions may experience hotter conditions ranging from 42°C to 47°C. Mountainous parts of the country are expected to remain relatively cooler, with temperatures between 32°C and 37°C.

The NCM added that southwesterly to northwesterly winds may strengthen progressively over the weekend, with speeds potentially reaching up to 40km/h between Saturday and Monday.

As winds intensify, sea conditions in the Arabian Gulf are expected to shift from slight to moderate and rough by Sunday and Monday, particularly in exposed offshore areas.

Weather experts also noted that temperatures are likely to continue easing gradually through Sunday, especially across coastal regions, offering residents slightly milder conditions ahead of the peak summer period.
