Highs Up to 47°C, Blowing Dust Expected in Some Areas: UAE Weather, August 12
The UAE remains under the influence of a surface low-pressure system with a weak extension of an upper-air low-pressure system. These conditions will contribute to warm, dry weather across most regions, with occasional cloud development and brief periods of stronger winds during the day.
Weather Conditions
Expect fair to partly cloudy skies throughout the day. By afternoon, clouds will appear mainly in the eastern areas and may develop into convective clouds, potentially bringing short-lived, localized weather changes. Winds will generally be light to moderate but may freshen during daytime hours, causing blowing dust in exposed areas and reducing visibility at times.
Sea conditions will remain slight in both the Arabian Gulf and the Oman Sea, making it generally safe for marine activities, although caution is advised during periods of stronger winds.
Temperature and Humidity Levels
Coastal & Islands: Highs between 41°C and 45°C, lows between 31°C and 36°C. Humidity will range from 50–70% during the day and drop to 15–30% at night.
