NCM Forecasts Midweek Showers for Eastern UAE as Extreme Heat Persists

Meteorologists say the brief rain will lower temperatures for a short time before north‑westerly winds bring cooler air, stronger gusts, dust and rough seas by Thursday.

Overview

  • The National Centre of Meteorology forecasts convective showers starting Tuesday afternoon and continuing into Wednesday, concentrated mainly over eastern and some internal UAE areas.
  • Daytime heat will remain severe this week with peak temperatures still expected to reach about 47–48°C in parts of the country despite the midweek rain.
  • Higher overnight humidity into mornings will raise the chance of fog or mist in coastal and nearby inland areas, which could reduce visibility for drivers and early flights.
  • By Thursday north‑westerly winds are expected to freshen with gusts reported around 35–45 km/h, which may lift dust in exposed locations and make sea conditions rough, especially in western waters.
  • The rain is driven by locally formed convective clouds common in UAE summers, so residents should check local and marine forecasts before travel or sea plans and expect only short‑lived relief from the heat.
