This week, the United Arab Emirates is bracing for a significant increase in temperatures, with some areas in the Abu Dhabi emirate expected to reach as high as 48°C. The peak heat is anticipated on Thursday, affecting regions such as Mezaira, Gasyoura, and Al Quaa. Meanwhile, the city of Abu Dhabi is predicted to see temperatures around 43°C on the same day.
In contrast, Dubai is forecasted to experience slightly lower temperatures, with a maximum of 40°C expected on Thursday. This sharp rise in temperature comes after a relatively mild spring season that included periods of unsettled weather. Recently, temperatures have consistently surpassed 40°C in various parts of the UAE, indicating the impending arrival of summer.
As the UAE transitions into the summer season officially on June 21, meteorologists predict that the hot conditions will persist across the region in the coming weeks. This shift marks a notable change from the cooler spring months, underscoring the seasonal pattern typical of the Northern Hemisphere.
