UAE weather update: Temperatures to hit 49°C, NCM issues alert

Temperatures are expected to hit highs of 49°C and lows of 25°C in the internal areas of the country, the National Centre of Meteorology (NCM) has said.

However, temperatures will hover between 24-36°C amid the mountains and range from 27°C till 46°C across the coastal areas and islands, NCM added in its weather bulletin.

Light and moderate winds, freshening at times, especially Eastward and Northward are expected today. Winds may cause blowing dust and sand may reduce horizontal visibility. NCM also took to Twitter to issue a dust alert, advising residents to be on the lookout should they pursue outdoor activities.

Meanwhile, the weather is expected to be hot during daytime, and dusty and partly cloudy at times. Humidity may hover by night and spill over to Friday morning with a probability of mist formation over some Western areas, NCM added.
