Scorching UAE Weekend: Temperatures Soar to 45°C

UAE Weather Forecast: Highs of 45°C Expected Saturday - Partly Cloudy Skies Anticipated

Residents of the United Arab Emirates can anticipate largely clear skies on Saturday, as forecasted by the National Centre of Meteorology (NCM).

While the weather will generally remain pleasantly sunny, partly cloudy skies are also possible at times. Winds are expected to be light to moderate, shifting between southeast and northeast directions. Wind speeds will generally range from 10 to 20 km/h but can occasionally strengthen up to 30 km/h.

A significant rise in temperature is expected: Maximum values in interior areas may reach 45°C. In Dubai, the highest daytime temperature is expected to be around 39°C, while in Abu Dhabi it may reach up to 42°C.

Interestingly, during the early morning hours, temperatures in the interior areas can drop to as low as 19°C, allowing nights to remain pleasantly cool before the summer season arrives.

Marine conditions will be favorable: In the Arabian Gulf and Oman Sea regions, wave activity is expected to be mild, thus providing ideal conditions for those planning boating, excursions, or beach activities this weekend.

Weekend Considerations:

Daytime Activities: Due to high daytime temperatures, it is advisable to schedule outdoor activities for early morning or late evening hours. Ample hydration, light clothing, and sun protection (such as hats, sunglasses, and sunscreen) are particularly important.

Driving: In high heat, vehicle interiors can quickly heat up, so parking in shaded areas and ventilating the car before driving is recommended.

Beach Activities: Favorable marine conditions provide a perfect opportunity for beachgoing or boat trips. However, UV levels can be extremely high, so it is crucial to take protective measures against sunstroke.

Summary

The weekend weather in the UAE will generally be favorable, providing ideal conditions for outdoor activities—though caution is advised due to rising temperatures. Particularly hot weather is expected in Dubai and Abu Dhabi, while interior areas may experience near-summer extreme values.

Before enjoying beachside relaxation, urban strolls, or light excursions, it is advisable to check daily forecasts to make the most of the pleasant weather while remaining safe in the heat.
