Unforeseen weather instability anticipated in the UAE for upcoming days
The National Centre of Meteorology (NCM) in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) has issued a climate alert, warning of gloomy conditions for the next two days. The anticipated weather is characterized by fair to partly cloudy skies, scattered convective clouds causing possible rainfall, especially in eastern and southern regions, occasional dust storms, and wind speeds ranging from 10 to 60 km/h.
For the next few days, from August 7 to 10, the UAE can expect these typical summer conditions. The climate alert urges homeowners and motorists to adhere to standards due to anticipated unstable weather conditions.
The NCM advises drivers to drive with caution and alertness for road safety, stay updated with weather reports via official channels, and activate low-beam headlights when visibility is reduced. If driving is required, they should heed changing speed limits displayed on electronic boards and remain alert while driving.
Residents are also urged to stay informed about weather updates, avoid areas with reduced visibility caused by dust, reduce outdoor activities during peak heat and dust periods, and take precautions, especially in eastern and southern areas prone to rain and dust.
The UAE's Ministry of Interior (MoI) has issued a climate alert as part of ongoing campaigns such as "Safe Summer" and "Summer Without Accident" focusing on road safety during such weather conditions.
The National Emergency Dilemma and Calamities Administration Authority (NCEMA) and other entities are prepared for any emergencies during this period. The public is warned against sharing deceptive information or rumors about the weather.
The NCM also advises against spreading rumors and encourages adhering to their records. They further advise drivers to avoid driving unless necessary and to prepare to comply with directions released by appropriate authorities.
Rainfall is anticipated throughout the day, specifically in coastal, North, and Eastern areas. Temperature levels will significantly dip, and rainfall of various intensities, rumbling, and lightning are anticipated over some locations on Wednesday and Thursday.
Stay safe and prepared, UAE residents. Keep an eye on official weather updates and follow safety measures, particularly when driving and during outdoor activities.
Weather forecasting predicts a continuation of the summer conditions from August 7 to 10, similar to the weather conditions the NCM warned about in their climate alert. To ensure safety during these unstable weather conditions, homeowners and motorists are urged to adhere to standards and stay updated with weather reports, drive with caution and alertness, and avoid spreading rumors about the weather.
