UAE Weather Alert: Hot Day with Chances of Convective Clouds and Rain on July 29
Residents and visitors in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) can expect a hot day with the possibility of rain and dusty weather conditions on July 29, 2025. The National Center of Meteorology (NCM), the meteorological authority in the UAE, has issued an alert for motorists and the public.
According to the NCM, the weather will be fair to partly cloudy with some haze and chances of convective cloud formation mainly in the eastern and southern areas. This could result in localized rainfall. The winds will be light to moderate from the southeast to northeast, freshening at times with speeds between 10 km/h to 40 km/h. The blowing dust and reduced visibility caused by these winds are expected to be particularly noticeable in open areas.
Temperatures are expected to remain high but typical for this season, with daytime conditions hot as usual for the UAE summer. The combination of shifting winds and convective clouds may stir up some dust, especially in open or exposed areas.
The highest temperature recorded today was 50 degrees Celsius in Owtaid, a location in the Al Dhafra region of the UAE. Rain and convective clouds were observed in the UAE today, despite the high temperatures. In some regions, such as Sharjah and Ras Al Khaimah, moderate to heavy rainfall was reported.
Authorities recommend monitoring official updates due to the variable weather and potential dust. If driving is necessary, motorists are advised to drive with caution and avoid driving unless absolutely necessary. The safety alert advises motorists to avoid driving during the daytime on July 29 due to the potential for blowing dust.
The Met Office has forecast dusty weather conditions for July 29. Convective clouds may appear by afternoon on July 29. An orange and yellow alert for convective clouds indicates a potential for severe weather conditions. Motorists are urged to remain vigilant and alert to ensure the safety of all road users.
Sea conditions in the Arabian Gulf and the Oman Sea will be slight. The NCM advises mariners to exercise caution when navigating in these waters.
