Severe Sea Conditions and Temperature Fluctuations Forecasted for This Week in UAE
The National Center of Meteorology (NCM) has issued a yellow alert for the Arabian Gulf, warning of strong northwesterly winds and rough seas. The alert, which has been active since early July 5, suggests ongoing rough sea conditions in the region.
Residents in the UAE and other coastal areas are advised to exercise caution, particularly as they head towards the coast. The weather in the region is generally clear to partly cloudy, with some cloud cover in eastern and northern areas. However, the nights are humid, especially along northern coastal regions, contributing to a muggy and hot environment.
The winds remain active, blowing light to moderate from southwesterly to northwesterly directions at speeds between 10 to 40 km/h. The sea conditions in the Arabian Gulf are initially rough but are expected to moderate to regular waves shortly. The Sea of Oman, on the other hand, continues to experience regular waves.
Temperatures are high, typical for this time of year, with daytime highs around 39-41°C and night lows around 30-31°C in UAE coastal cities like Abu Dhabi, Dubai, and Sharjah. This indicates a peak summer heatwave combined with high humidity.
Fishermen are advised to avoid venturing into parts of the Arabian Sea and adjoining coasts, including areas off Gujarat, Konkan, Goa, Karnataka, Somalia, Oman, and Yemen, due to hazardous sea conditions from thunderstorms, rain, and rough weather from July 7-12.
In summary, the Arabian Gulf region is currently experiencing hot, humid conditions with active wind and rough seas, leading to maritime alerts and strong safety advisories for fishermen and sea activities. It is essential for residents and tourists to stay informed and take necessary precautions during this period.
While the Arabian Gulf experiences a hot and humid summer, residents and tourists should stay cautious due to the ongoing rough sea conditions, active wind, and maritime alerts. The weather conditions have led to warnings for fishermen to avoid venturing into specific areas of the Arabian Sea. Meanwhile, the national weather-forecasting agency continues to monitor the situation, with the hope that the sea conditions in the Arabian Gulf may moderate soon. In light of these conditions, it's crucial to stay informed about the weather updates and safety advisories, as they can significantly impact your entertainment plans, culture, and local economy.
