This week, the UAE is bracing for a significant rise in temperatures, with parts of Abu Dhabi expected to experience extreme heat. Forecasts indicate that areas such as Mezaira, Gasyoura, and Al Quaa could see the mercury soar to 48°C on Thursday. In contrast, Abu Dhabi city is anticipated to be slightly cooler, with temperatures peaking at 43°C.
Meanwhile, Dubai is set to enjoy somewhat more moderate conditions. The city is predicted to reach a high of 40°C on Thursday, which is milder compared to the intense heat forecasted for parts of the Abu Dhabi emirate.
This upcoming temperature spike follows a spring season marked by relatively mild and occasionally unsettled weather. However, in recent weeks, temperatures have consistently climbed above 40°C in many regions, signifying the onset of the summer season.
As the UAE officially enters summer in the Northern Hemisphere on June 21, meteorologists expect these hot conditions to persist across the region. Residents and visitors are advised to prepare for the intense heat that characterizes the UAE’s summer months.
