UAE weather tomorrow: Temperatures to decrease; could get dusty at times
As the UAE weather department had predicted a few days ago, temperatures continue to dip across the country. The forecast for Saturday, May 31 is for partly cloudy skies with a gradual decrease in temperatures, according to the bulletin issued by the National Centre of Meteorology (NCM). It could get dusty at times with blowing dust and sand reducing the horizontal visibility at times, with a speed of 15kmph and 30kmph, reaching 40kmph. The sea will be rough in the Arabian Gulf and slight to moderate, becoming rough by evening in Oman Sea. It will be mostly sunny in Abu Dhabi with temperatures in the UAE capital likely to see a high of 40°C and a low of 28°C, while in Dubai, it will be 43°C with a low of 27°C. Sharjah will witness a high of 42°C and a low of 28°C. The NCM had on May 27 said that after days of intense heat, residents across the UAE can look forward to some cooler days. Temperatures will begin to dip by four to five degrees in the coming days, a senior meteorologist had said. The scorching conditions were caused by an internal low-pressure system from the south of the UAE, pushing hot desert air across the region. Last weekend saw temperatures soar to a staggering 51.6°C in Sweihan, Al Ain, marking the hottest May day ever recorded in the country since 2003. The previous record stood at 50.2°C in Al Shawamekh, Abu Dhabi, experienced in 2009.

UAE Weather to Cool Down This Week After Hitting Near 50°C
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.
