The United Arab Emirates is bracing for a bout of inclement weather over the coming two days, with forecasts predicting increased rainfall, dust storms, and strong winds. Meteorologists from the National Centre of Meteorology have indicated that wind speeds could reach up to 45 kilometers per hour.
While Dubai and Abu Dhabi are likely to remain dry, eastern and western regions of the country, particularly around Fujairah and Al Ain, are expected to experience rain and convective clouds. These conditions could lead to reduced visibility due to blowing dust, prompting authorities to advise motorists to exercise caution while driving.
Despite the forecasted weather disturbances, temperatures across the UAE will continue to soar. In Abu Dhabi, temperatures could climb as high as 46 degrees Celsius, while Dubai might see temperatures around 45 degrees Celsius. Meanwhile, in Al Quaa, the mercury could reach a sweltering 49 degrees Celsius over the weekend.
Authorities remain on alert as these weather conditions unfold, and residents in affected areas should stay informed and take necessary precautions. With the extreme temperatures and unsettled weather patterns, the importance of remaining vigilant, particularly for those traveling on the roads, cannot be overstated.
