Summer temperatures in the UAE crossed the 50 degrees C mark for the first this year, according to the National Centre of Meteorology (NCM).

The highest recorded temperature in the country was 50.1 degrees C in Bada Dafas (Al Dhafra region) in Abu Dhabi. Mercury crossed this mark for two consecutive days – July 15 and July 16.


The NCM said, “July is one of the summer months with increase of temperatures as the region and country are affected by the extension of thermal lows, the most important of which is India monsoon low pressure, which raise the temperatures.”

However, the lowest temperature was recorded at 26.3 degrees C in Al Farfar in Fujairah providing some respite from the summer heat in the evenings.

Meanwhile, Dubai saw temperature between 38.3 degrees C and 45 degrees C. Some internal parts saw temperatures reaching 47 degrees C.

Temperatures soar across Europe and North America

While the UAE regularly sees extremely high temperatures during the summer months of July and August, countries across Europe and North America are suffering an unprecedented heat wave.

Countries like Italy, Spain, and Portugal have issued heat wave warnings with temperatures set to hit 48 degrees C. Temperature in US’ Death Valley – one of the hottest places on Earth is expected to reach 130 degrees Farenheit or 54.4 degrees C.
