Dust alerts implemented nationwide in UAE due to poor weather conditions
The UAE is bracing for another week of hot, dry weather, with a chance of haze or dust, as rain chances remain low. According to the National Centre of Meteorology (NCM), the weather notices are in effect until 5pm on Friday.
For the rest of the week, temperatures are expected to hover around the monthly average of 35.7°C. The weather on Friday, as per the update issued on Thursday night, is forecast to be dusty and partly cloudy. A dust warning has been issued, advising of hazardous conditions in some areas.
To ensure safety, a yellow alert has been issued, urging the public to be prepared for outdoor activities. It's worth noting that an amber alert has been issued for areas outside Ras Al Khaimah, advising of hazardous weather conditions.
Looking ahead to the weekend, the weather is expected to remain cloudy with light rain expected on Saturday. However, rain chances are generally very low in August, and the exact precipitation levels are yet to be determined.
The NCM reports reduced visibility to less than 2,000 metres over Ras Al Khaimah International Airport due to blowing dust. While no yellow, amber, or new weather alerts have been issued at this time, it's essential to stay updated with the latest weather conditions.
Based on typical weather patterns for late August in the UAE and the limited information from the August 6–10, 2025 forecast, it is likely that the UAE will continue to experience hot temperatures with haze or dust, which are common in this period due to dry desert conditions.
For the most accurate and updated conditions, including any dust warnings or rain chances, consulting the UAE National Center of Meteorology or official local weather services is recommended, as they issue timely alerts and forecasts.
In summary, expect hot, dry, and possibly hazy weather with minimal rain chances and variable dust conditions for the rest of the week and weekend in the UAE based on typical climate and the limited prior August outlook. Stay safe and stay informed.
