The United Arab Emirates is expected to experience a period of unsettled weather conditions, with dust, strong winds, and rough seas forecast across several parts of the country, according to the National Centre of Meteorology (NCM). The changing weather pattern is being driven by a weak surface low-pressure system that is affecting the region and is likely to continue influencing conditions over the coming days.
Meteorologists have warned that temperatures could climb as high as 47°C in inland areas, while coastal and island regions may record maximum temperatures of around 41°C. In addition to the intense heat, fresh to strong northwesterly winds are expected to blow across the country, with speeds reaching up to 50 km/h in some locations. These winds are likely to raise dust and sand, reducing horizontal visibility and creating challenging conditions for motorists, particularly in exposed and open areas.
The dusty weather is expected to persist through the weekend, with residents advised to remain cautious during outdoor activities. Authorities have also noted that sea conditions in the Arabian Gulf are likely to become moderate to very rough at times due to the strong winds, while the Oman Sea is expected to remain relatively calm with slight wave activity.
Weather experts indicate that temperatures may ease slightly over the next couple of days before rising again by Sunday. Residents are encouraged to stay hydrated, avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight during peak afternoon hours, and monitor official weather updates as conditions continue to develop across the UAE.
