UAE: The UAE is bracing for a rise in temperatures as the region moves closer to peak summer conditions. Weather forecasts indicate that residents can expect hotter days ahead, with a noticeable spike expected over the upcoming weekend. Meteorological authorities have advised the public to stay informed through official updates and take precautions, especially during outdoor activities.
According to the National Center of Meteorology, temperatures in some parts of the country may approach the high 40s (Celsius), particularly in inland and desert regions. Coastal areas will also experience heat but may have slightly milder conditions due to sea breezes. Humidity is expected to remain moderate, but the heat index will still make it feel significantly warmer.
Residents are being urged to limit sun exposure during peak hours, generally between 12 pm and 3 pm. Authorities recommend wearing light clothing, staying hydrated, and avoiding strenuous activities outdoors. Parents are especially encouraged to ensure children are protected from heat-related illnesses during school breaks or recreational outings.
The increase in temperature is consistent with the seasonal shift experienced each year, and authorities assure that emergency services are on standby should any heat-related incidents arise. With summer nearly here, the government is also launching awareness campaigns to promote safety and well-being during extreme weather conditions.
