UAE weather is turning up the heat as we head into the final, peak month of summer
Brace yourselves, the heat is officially on. As we step into August, UAE residents can expect soaring temperatures, dry winds, and scorching days ahead.
The National Centre of Meteorology (NCM) recently recorded a blistering high of 50.6°C yesterday, Thursday, July 31 and that might not be the last of it. Forecasters say temperatures could climb even higher over the coming days, especially across inland and desert regions.
While parts of the country experienced surprise showers, sandstorms, and even hail, other areas baked under extreme heat, with little relief in sight. The coming week is expected to be dry and intensely hot, with conditions made worse by strong desert winds known for carrying dust and reducing visibility.
Residents are being urged to limit outdoor activities during peak hours, stay hydrated, and seek shade or indoor spaces to avoid heat-related illness.
The bottom line? Avoid the midday sun, dress light, and keep those ACs running, it’s going to be a scorcher.
