The United Arab Emirates is bracing for a spell of challenging weather conditions over the next two days, with forecasts indicating increased rainfall, dust storms, and strong winds. The National Centre of Meteorology has predicted wind speeds could surge up to 45 kilometers per hour, adding to the anticipated weather disturbances.
Regions in the eastern and western parts of the country, particularly around Fujairah and Al Ain, are expected to see rain and the formation of convective clouds. In contrast, Dubai and Abu Dhabi may largely avoid the rain, remaining mostly dry during this period. However, the presence of blowing dust could significantly impair visibility, prompting officials to advise motorists to exercise caution while driving under such conditions.
Despite these unsettled weather conditions, the UAE will continue to experience extremely high temperatures. The mercury is forecast to climb to a scorching 46 degrees Celsius in Abu Dhabi and 45 degrees Celsius in Dubai. Meanwhile, the region of Al Quaa may witness temperatures reaching up to 49 degrees Celsius over the weekend.
Authorities are urging residents and visitors to stay informed about the latest weather updates and to take necessary precautions against the potential hazards posed by the combination of high temperatures and reduced visibility. The weather patterns underscore the need for vigilance as the UAE navigates through these challenging climatic conditions.
