The United Arab Emirates is bracing for a spell of inclement weather over the next two days, with forecasts predicting rainfall, dusty conditions, and strong winds. The National Centre of Meteorology has issued a warning that wind speeds could reach up to 45 kilometers per hour, affecting visibility and urging caution for drivers on the roads.
Areas in the eastern and western parts of the country, such as Fujairah and Al Ain, are expected to see rain and the development of convective clouds. However, major cities like Dubai and Abu Dhabi are likely to experience mostly dry weather during this period. The presence of blowing dust could further contribute to reduced visibility, leading authorities to advise motorists to remain vigilant while driving in such conditions.
While the weather may be unsettled, temperatures are anticipated to stay extremely high. Abu Dhabi could see temperatures soaring to 46 degrees Celsius, with Dubai not far behind at 45 degrees Celsius. In Al Quaa, the mercury might climb even higher, reaching a scorching 49 degrees Celsius over the weekend.
The forecast highlights the need for residents and travelers in the UAE to prepare for the challenging weather conditions, particularly those in areas more prone to rain and dust. Despite the potential for rain, the persistent heat remains a significant concern, emphasizing the importance of staying hydrated and protected from the sun.
