After back-to-back days of intense heat, the UAE is finally expecting some relief. Weather officials say temperatures will start to go down from Monday, especially in coastal areas.
Cooler air and light winds bring relief
The National Centre of Meteorology (NCM) said the weather on Monday will be generally fair, with some patches of clouds. Temperatures are expected to drop gradually over the coming days, thanks to light to moderate southwesterly to northwesterly winds moving across the country. However, these winds might stir up some dust during the day.
From almost 50°C to cooler mountain temps
On Sunday, the hottest recorded temperature was 49.8°C in Mezaira, Al Dhafra, while the lowest was 22.5°C in Barakah 2, also in the Al Dhafra region.
Meanwhile, temperatures in Jebel Jais in Ras Al Khaimah could go as low as 25°C, offering a much cooler option for those looking to escape the heat. However, Abu Dhabi will remain hot, with highs still expected to hit 48°C in some areas.
The drop may not be drastic for everyone, but for residents who've endured days near the 50°C mark, it's a step in the right direction.
