Rain and Dust: UAE's Weather Challenges

Rain and Humidity Expected in UAE Tomorrow

Rainy Season Continues in the United Arab Emirates

According to the National Centre of Meteorology (NCM) of the United Arab Emirates, more showers are expected in the eastern and southern regions of the country on Monday, July 21. While the weather will generally be clear or slightly cloudy, convective clouds may form in certain areas which could be accompanied by rainfall.

Humid Nights, Dusty Days

Humidity levels will increase during the evening and early morning hours, particularly in coastal and inner regions. Fog or mist may develop in some areas, impairing visibility, especially during early morning commutes. Daytime hours will see southeast winds shifting to northwest, occasionally strengthening with gusts of up to 40 km/h. This can lead to dust clouds in some places, reducing visibility and making outdoor activities uncomfortable.

Sea Conditions: Calm and Moderately Wavy

According to meteorological forecasts, the sea surface in the Arabian Gulf is expected to be slightly wavy, while the Oman Sea will be slightly to moderately wavy. This provides favorable conditions for water sports enthusiasts, although caution is advised due to dusty winds when on open waters.

Temperature Forecast by City

Abu Dhabi: In the capital, temperatures may climb up to 48°C during the day, while overnight lows are expected to be around 30°C. Due to the intense heat, it remains vital to stay hydrated and seek shaded areas.

Dubai: The highest daytime temperature can reach 40°C, with the lowest nighttime temperature hovering around 33°C. The humid weather increases the sensation of heat, so using air-conditioned spaces is recommended.

Sharjah: Temperatures may rise to 42°C during the day and fall to 32°C at night. Humid mornings are also likely in the city, so drivers should exercise extra caution.

What to Do in This Kind of Weather?

Avoid outdoor activities during midday.

Pay attention to water consumption and appropriate clothing.

Check vehicles before starting trips, especially air conditioning systems.

A climate-controlled environment is particularly important for children, the elderly, and those with chronic illnesses.

Summary

Monday's weather will be variable again across the UAE: rain in some areas, elsewhere windy, dusty, and extremely hot conditions are expected. Evening humidity and fog formation will further complicate transportation. Therefore, it's advisable to stay informed about weather forecasts and adapt to the rapidly changing conditions.
