UAE Heatwave Soars to 49°C as High Humidity and Fog Return Over Weekend

The summer is really hot in the United Arab Emirates. It is going to stay that way. The temperature in the middle of the United Arab Emirates will go up to 49 degrees Celsius this week. The United Arab Emirates will also have moisture in the air. There might be fog in the morning near the beach areas of the United Arab Emirates when we get close, to the weekend. This is what the National Centre of Meteorology said about the United Arab Emirates.

Meteorologists report that regional weather patterns are currently driven by a weak easterly low-pressure system combined with an upper-air high-pressure ridge. While interior regions bear the brunt of the soaring temperatures, coastal zones face a noticeable accumulation of atmospheric moisture overnight, setting the stage for dense mist and compromised road visibility.

The weather bulletin indicates that internal desert districts will experience peak daytime readings between 44°C and 49°C, whereas coastal metropolitan centers and offshore islands will see maximums ranging from 40°C to 46°C. Mountainous topography remains relatively cooler, with temperatures settling between 32°C and 38°C. Eastern territories may witness convective cloud formations during the afternoon hours, introducing localized cloudiness across high-altitude terrain.

Relative humidity along the shoreline and adjacent mountain corridors is forecast to climb as high as 80 percent. The weather bureau highlighted that moisture levels will steadily intensify beginning Thursday night, creating favorable conditions for fog or shallow mist formation over coastal stretches from Saturday evening through Monday morning.

Surface wind currents from the southeast and northeast are expected to remain predominantly light to moderate, occasionally freshening up to 35 kilometers per hour. These periodic gusts could stir up dust over open inland thoroughfares, briefly affecting horizontal visibility during afternoon travel. Meanwhile, sea conditions across both the Arabian Gulf and the Sea of Oman will remain calm with slight wave heights.

Public safety officials advise motorists to exercise extra vigilance during early morning commutes when fog is anticipated, while recommending that outdoor workers maintain proper hydration to counter intense afternoon thermal stress.
