Sunny Skies and Gentle to Moderate Breezes Expected Tomorrow: Reliable Weather Forecast for the Day Ahead

UAE Braces for Scorching 45°C Temperatures as Summer Heat Intensifies

The United Arab Emirates is preparing for another blistering day as temperatures are forecast to reach 45°C in several cities, with Dubai and Al Ain expected to bear the brunt of the extreme heat. The National Center of Meteorology predicts partly cloudy to clear skies across most regions, while humidity levels could soar to 90% in coastal areas, creating challenging conditions for residents and outdoor workers.

Weather Patterns Signal Peak Summer Conditions

According to the meteorological forecast, Tuesday's weather will transition from clear to partially cloudy, with some eastern and southern regions experiencing occasional cloud cover. The combination of high temperatures and elevated humidity levels reflects the typical summer weather patterns that define the UAE's climate during the hottest months of the year.

Overnight and early morning hours will bring particularly humid conditions to coastal and inland areas, with fog or light fog formation likely to affect visibility. This weather pattern is characteristic of the UAE's geographical position between the Arabian Gulf and the Gulf of Oman, where moisture from both water bodies influences local atmospheric conditions.

Temperature Extremes Across the Emirates

Inland Cities Face the Heat

Dubai and Al Ain are forecast to experience the highest temperatures at 45°C, while Abu Dhabi follows closely at 44°C. These extreme temperatures underscore the intensity of the UAE's summer season, when the desert climate reaches its peak. Minimum temperatures will provide little relief, dropping only to the low 30s in most urban areas.

Coastal Areas Offer Marginal Relief

Fujairah, located on the eastern coast, presents a notable exception with a maximum temperature of 35°C – a full 10 degrees cooler than the hottest inland areas. However, this coastal advantage comes with a trade-off: humidity levels reaching up to 80%, making the perceived temperature feel much higher than the actual reading.

Maritime Conditions Remain Stable

Both the Arabian Gulf and Sea of Oman are expected to experience light wave conditions, providing favorable circumstances for maritime activities. The Arabian Gulf will see its first high tide at 18:20 and low tide at 03:40, while the Sea of Oman will experience a more complex tidal pattern with two high tides and two low tides throughout the day.

Economic and Social Implications

These extreme weather conditions have significant implications for the UAE's economy and daily life. Construction and outdoor industries typically adjust working hours during peak summer months to protect workers from heat-related health risks. The high humidity levels, particularly in areas like Dalma Island where humidity could reach 90%, will strain air conditioning systems and increase energy consumption across the emirates.

The consistent pattern of extreme summer heat reinforces the UAE's position as one of the world's most challenging climates, driving continued investment in climate adaptation technologies and sustainable cooling solutions. For tourists and residents alike, these conditions necessitate careful planning and adequate hydration when venturing outdoors during daylight hours.
