Residents of the UAE are preparing for extreme weather conditions as temperatures reached a sizzling 46°C today, with hot, dusty winds and increasing humidity. Coastlines saw humidity reaching a whopping 70 per cent, with conditions being especially stifling outdoors.
The National Centre of Meteorology (NCM) issued reduced visibility due to haze and dust warnings, advising motorists to exercise caution while driving. Sweltering temperatures and a muggy environment are predicted for the next few days, with moderate rises in temperature expected across western and inland areas.
Public health authorities recommend that the public remain hydrated, avoid exposure to direct sunlight, and restrict strenuous outdoor work during noon hours. Outdoor workers and construction workers are particularly urged to exercise special caution under the compulsory midday break policy observed during summers.
As summer heats up, the weather in the UAE reminds everyone of the harsh regional seasonal climate. Authorities remain closely watching conditions and urging residents to stay updated via official announcements.
