Abu Dhabi reached 44°C on Monday as humidity climbs, marking a hot start to the week. The National Centre of Meteorology (NCM) forecasts partly cloudy skies across the UAE, with temperatures varying by region. Coastal areas and islands are expected to see highs between 38°C and 42°C, while internal regions will feel the brunt of the heat with maximums between 42°C and 47°C. City-by-city, Dubai and Ajman are forecast to reach 40°C, and Sharjah will peak at 42°C. Abu Dhabi is set for 44°C, while Al Ain and Liwa will record the highest temperatures in the country at 45°C and 46°C respectively. The forecast also includes Fujairah at 45°C, Ras Al Khaimah at 43°C, and Umm Al Quwain at 39°C. Minimum temperatures will provide little relief, mostly settling at 30°C, though Fujairah and Liwa will see slightly warmer lows of 32°C.
Humidity is a key factor today, with levels rising to 85% in coastal zones and 75% in internal areas. The NCM has cautioned that humidity will increase overnight into Tuesday morning, creating a high probability of fog or mist formation. This moisture build-up often leads to reduced visibility during the early hours. Residents heading out on early shifts are urged to drive carefully during these foggy conditions. The combination of high daytime heat and climbing humidity makes sunscreen essential for anyone spending time outdoors.
Marine conditions remain favorable for those seeking the coast. Southwesterly to northwesterly winds are expected to stay light to moderate, blowing at speeds of 10–20 km/h and reaching 30 km/h at times. Both the Arabian Gulf and the Sea of Oman are predicted to remain slight. This means beachgoers can expect gentle waves, rising to about two feet on-shore and three feet off-shore. The calm seas offer a suitable environment for seaside activities this week, despite the soaring temperatures inland.
