UAE Braces for Frequent Dust Storms and High Temperatures
The United Arab Emirates (UAE) is expected to experience frequent dust storms and high temperatures from August 11 to August 24, 2025. According to the National Centre of Meteorology (NCM), wind speeds will range from 10 to 25 km/h, gusting up to 35-40 km/h, mostly from southeasterly to northeasterly directions.
The extreme heat will be evident in the temperatures, with daytime highs reaching around 42°C in Dubai and Sharjah, approximately 44°C in Abu Dhabi, and a peak of 47.7°C recorded in the Al Dhafrah region (Bada Dafas). The skies will be fair to partly cloudy at times, with a possibility of some convective cloud formation eastwards by the afternoon.
The overall weather pattern shows intense summer heat coupled with frequent dust storms, which may reduce visibility and worsen air quality, particularly posing health risks for those with respiratory conditions. The UAE's meteorological department has advised the public to take necessary precautions to protect themselves from the dusty conditions and extreme heat.
