The UAE is witnessing a temperature spike as the National Centre of Meteorology (NCM) issues national weather alerts. Searing heat will reign for the next few days, with temperatures reaching over seasonal highs in various emirates.
In addition to the blistering heat, the NCM also issued an advisory for light to moderate winds that may lift dust and decrease visibility, especially in open fields and highways. Drivers are instructed to exercise extra caution, while outdoor workers and residents are reminded to drink water frequently.
Authorities have given public reminders about not stepping outdoors during the strongest afternoon sun, when the exposure to UV is highest. Parents have also been reminded to keep children indoors or shielded from direct sunlight.
As summer conditions become more intense, health experts emphasize the need to dress in loose and airy clothes, stay hydrated, and practice sun protection. The NCM keeps following events and will update the latest news as the weather progresses throughout the week.
