UAE: Some residents feel the heat as electricity bills soar in summer
As temperatures continue to range between 40 to 50 degrees Celsius across the UAE, some residents have reported an increase in electricity bills during the summer months. Residents across Dubai, Sharjah, and Abu Dhabi say their monthly electricity usage has increased, in some cases doubling or tripling compared to winter or spring months. This rise is due to prolonged use of air conditioning, increased cooling needs, and more frequent use of household appliances such as washing machines, irons, and microwave ovens. 'My bill jumped from Dh400 to Dh927' Shyam S., an Indian resident of a two-bedroom apartment in Al Nahda, Dubai, said his Dewa bill rose from an average of Dh350–Dh400 in the winter to Dh927 last month. 'We have not made any major changes to our routine, but the air conditioners are being used more frequently,' he said. 'We have tried using fans and limiting cooking time, but some appliances like the washing machine and iron are used more regularly now due to the need to wash clothes daily.' Hottest May The increase in usage corresponds with temperature data from the National Centre of Meteorology (NCM), which reported that May 2025 was the warmest in over 20 years. The average maximum temperature reached 40.4 degrees Celcius, above the historical average of 39.2 degrees Celcius recorded between 2003 and 2024. Change in AC usage Fatima K., a homemaker living on Hamdan Street in Abu Dhabi, reported her electricity bill rising from Dh450 to Dh1,100 in two months. She said air conditioning was rarely used in winter, and table fans or open windows were sufficient. 'Now, central cooling is used continuously,' she said. 'We are also storing more food in the refrigerator during the summer, and we have reduced the use of the dishwasher to manage consumption.' 'Our bill went from Dh310 to Dh780' Egyptian expat Mohammed Amr, a resident of Al Tawoon, said his electricity bill increased from Dh310 in March to Dh780 in May. His apartment has a central AC system without separate controls for each room. 'The AC cools the entire apartment even if only one room is in use,' he said. 'We spend more time indoors during summer, which leads to continuous AC use. We are now considering moving to an apartment with individual room controls.' Tips to save on electricity With electricity bills soaring during the summer months, especially due to increased air conditioning and appliance use, it's essential to adopt energy-saving practices. According to Dewa, residents can significantly cut down on their electricity consumption, and bills, by making small yet effective changes at home. Here's how you can save on your electricity usage: Air Conditioning Set thermostat to 24°C: DEWA recommends this as the optimal temperature for comfort and efficiency. Clean AC filters regularly: Dirty filters make the unit work harder and use more power. Close doors and windows: Keep cool air in and hot air out when the AC is on. Use fans: Ceiling or pedestal fans help circulate cool air and reduce the need for low AC settings. Install smart thermostats: They automatically adjust temperatures based on your schedule. Lighting Switch to LED bulbs: They consume less power and last longer. Use natural light: Make the most of daylight and switch off unnecessary lights. Install timers or motion sensors: These help control lighting and prevent waste. Use dimmers: Lower light intensity to suit your needs and save energy. Appliances

Sharjah fire: Emergency services at scene after blaze
A fire broke out in Sharjah Industrial Area 6 on Wednesday morning, sending plumes of thick black smoke into the sky. Sharjah Civil Defence extinguished the blaze, which broke out between 6am and 10am. Responders remain on site after the blaze in case of any further outbreaks, given the high temperatures across the Emirates. The fire occurred in a spare parts and furniture warehouse. Police patrols restricted access to the area and the roads leading to the site. Sharjah Civil Defence reported no injuries. The site has been handed to fire experts to determine the cause and assess the damage, authorities added. Emergency responders Wednesday's fire followed a much larger blaze that burned for 24 hours at Sharjah's Al Hamriyah fuel depot earlier this month. Chinook helicopters could be seen unloading gallons of water from buckets on to the flames. Municipalities of Sharjah and Al Hamriyah were involved in the co-ordinated response. The emergency action limited damage to surrounding property, emergency services said. No casualties were reported.

UAE records hottest May in over 20 years with temperature hitting 51.6°C
The UAE has experienced its hottest May in over two decades, with extreme heat persisting for longer periods throughout the day. In an interview with Khaleej Times, Dr Ahmed Habib, a meteorologist at the National Centre of Meteorology (NCM) said on Wednesday, "It hit a scorching 51.6°C in Sweihan, near Al Ain in Abu Dhabi, on May 24 - the hottest May day the UAE has seen since records began in 2003. The previous high was 50.2°C in Al Shawamekh back in 2009.' 'What's worth noting is that the intense heat is lasting for a longer duration each day. It's not just the peak temperatures that are going up, the hot hours are stretching out, too. On an average, temperatures are now more than 1.5°C higher," which also aligns with the global trend that scientists are seeing around the world. The average maximum temperature across the country in May reached 40.4°C, higher than the historical average maximum of 39.2°C recorded between 2003 and 2024. . What's causing the intense heat? Experts have time and again highlighted that the rise in average duration of high temperatures throughout the day signalling a broader shift in regional climate patterns. However, the intense heat is also attributed to a combination of atmospheric systems, including internal low-pressure activity from the southern parts of the UAE. 'The heatwave from Saudi Arabia impacts the UAE primarily through thermal low-pressure systems that originate in the deserts of the Arabian Peninsula. This hot air mass spreads from the interior deserts of KSA towards other neighbouring countries like the UAE,' added Habib. Looking ahead, the forecast remains bleak for any immediate relief from the sweltering conditions. 'The weather is expected to be hot over the next few days, with temperatures continuing to rise over the next four to five days. The first 11 days of June have already been hotter than average (in June), but since the month isn't over yet, it's too early to make a full comparison,' he emphasized. Climate change Meanwhile, according to Reuters, this May was the second-warmest on record globally, with scientists noting that climate change contributed to an unprecedented heatwave in Greenland. Experts also highlight that intense heat is no longer limited to brief midday periods. In many parts of the country, early mornings and late evenings -which were previously seen as cooler periods - are now registering significantly higher temperatures than historical norms. Dr Diana Francis, Senior Research Scientist and Head of the Environmental and Geophysical Sciences (ENGEOS) Lab at Khalifa University, earlier told KT, 'If we take the UAE and the surrounding countries, meaning the Southern part of the Arabian Peninsula, the summer will be extended (every year) by a few days with an increase in temperature. These were the results of our study on the subject, published in the paper titled, 'Recent and projected changes in climate patterns in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region'.'
