UAE Heat Holds Near 40°C as NCM Flags Morning Fog and High Humidity

The outlook reflects the Safriya-to-autumn shift that ushers in a gradual cooling after the September 23 equinox.

Overview

  • The National Centre of Meteorology forecasts highs around 41°C in Abu Dhabi and about 40°C in Dubai and Sharjah with lows near 30°C.
  • Patchy early-morning fog or light mist is possible over coastal stretches and some inland areas under clear to partly cloudy skies.
  • Coastal humidity may reach roughly 85 percent, heightening discomfort and increasing the likelihood of fog formation.
  • Winds are expected to be light to moderate from southeasterly to northwesterly at 10–25 km/h with brief gusts near 35 km/h that can raise blowing dust.
  • Seas should remain slight in the Arabian Gulf and the Sea of Oman, and a same-day peak of 44.5°C was reported at Al Jazeera BG in Al Dhafra.
