Weather advisory in UAE: Sky becomes hazy, potential for dust storms and fog alert on September 1
On Monday, September 1, 2023, the National Center of Meteorology (NCM) issued a fog alert for early morning, warning of potential fog formation and severely reduced visibility. This alert covers coastal and internal areas, prompting authorities to urge caution for early-morning commuters.
According to the NCM, Abu Dhabi has been covered by fog with very low visibility close to zero. The city's current temperature stands at 35°C, though the "real feel" has climbed to 38°C under sunny skies. Meanwhile, the mercury in Abu Dhabi is expected to reach a slightly hotter 41°C.
Elsewhere in the UAE, sea conditions will remain slight in both the Arabian Gulf and the Oman Sea. Nationwide, inland areas will see maximum temperatures between 43°C and 47°C, coastal areas and islands can expect highs ranging from 37°C to 44°C, and mountainous regions will be relatively cooler, with temperatures between 31°C and 36°C.
The highest temperature recorded in the UAE on Sunday was a blistering 47.6°C in Hamim, located in the Al Dhafra region. Winds will be light to moderate, occasionally strengthening, blowing from the Southeast to Northwest at 10 to 25 km/h, with gusts up to 40 km/h.
As the weather conditions are forecasted to be the harshest days of the summer season, with extreme heat and unstable visibility conditions, authorities advise limiting outdoor exposure during peak heat hours, staying hydrated, avoiding strenuous activities, exercising caution while driving in fog-affected areas, and monitoring updates from official weather channels and the NCM.
In Dubai, the weather will be hazy and dusty, with temperatures peaking at a scorching 40°C, according to Accuweather. Humidity will increase overnight and into Tuesday morning, especially over coastal and internal areas, potentially leading to more fog or mist.
Authorities urge the public to take necessary precautions and stay safe during these challenging weather conditions.
