Dubai: Planning to head home late tonight?

According to the National Centre of Meteorology (NCM), today’s weather will be fair to partly cloudy. However, with relative humidity (RH) peaking at 90% in coastal and internal regions, the NCM forecasts a high probability of mist formation overnight and tomorrow morning, over some western areas, such as Dubai and Abu Dhabi. In such conditions, the authorities caution motorists to drive carefully, due to fog causing a reduction in horizontal visibility. Temperatures in the high-30s Meanwhile, temperatures are holding steady in the high-30s, across the UAE today. Abu Dhabi, Sharjah and Ras Al Khaimah are set to reach 41°C today, while Dubai and Umm Al Quwain will peak at 39°C. Ajman will experience 38°C temperatures, while Fujairah will remain the coolest emirate today, at 34°C. According to the NCM, there is a high probability of some convective cloud formation eastward and southward by the afternoon. This means regions like Fujairah and Kalba may see scattered rainfall. Moderate sea conditions The NCM also expects light to moderate southeasterly to northeasterly winds, freshening at times, and reaching speeds of up to 30km/h along the coast. The Arabian Gulf and the Sea of Oman will experience slight sea conditions, according to the NCM, which means calm seas, with gentle wave heights expected to reach up to two feet on-shore and up to three feet off-shore.

Sheikh Abdullah bin Salem bin Sultan Al Qasimi, Deputy Ruler of Sharjah and Vice Chairman of the Sharjah Executive Council. The Council discussed a number of government work-related topics and reviewed the public policies of government departments and authorities to enhance the level of services provided to citizens and residents of the Emirate. The Council commended the directives of His Highness Sheikh Dr. Sultan bin Mohammed Al Qasimi, Supreme Council Member and Ruler of Sharjah, approving all 6,700 housing support requests submitted by citizens to the Sharjah Department of Housing (SDH), as well as the housing initiatives that continue His Highness’s directives and distinguished initiatives to support the stability of Emirati families and provide them with a decent standard of living.

In line with the directives of His Highness the Ruler of Sharjah, the Council approved a plan to recruit 150 passport control officers at Sharjah International Airport in three phases, starting next October.

The Council reviewed a report by the Department of Statistics and Community Development on the implementation of a comprehensive review of Sharjah’s gross domestic product (GDP). The review aims to develop GDP estimates that provide broader coverage of Sharjah’s economy and more accurately reflect its size, the diversity of its activities, and economic developments. The review involves expanding data sources and enhancing coverage across sectors, thereby contributing to more accurate measurement of Sharjah’s contribution to the UAE’s GDP, providing updated economic indicators to support planning and decision-making, and reflecting the Emirate’s economic weight.

Dubai: The past few days have been moist and sticky, and today looks no different – humidity is at a high, and it’s expected to stay that way, all weekend long. According to the National Centre of Meteorology (NCM), today’s weather will be fair to partly cloudy, with low clouds appearing over the eastern coast. Humid nights, hot days The relative humidity (RH) is peaking at 95% along coastal regions by night, and at 90% in internal areas, according to the NCM. This means there is a high probability of fog tonight and tomorrow morning, in cities like Abu Dhabi and Dubai, which lie along the coast. The NCM advises driving carefully in such conditions, as there may be a drop in visibility. Meanwhile, temperatures continue to remain in the low-40s across the UAE. According to the NCM, coastal and island regions will experience highs between 38°C and 43°C, while internal regions will be warmer, at 41°C to 46°C today.

Moderate sea conditions The NCM forecasts light to moderate southwesterly to northwesterly winds, freshening at times, and reaching speeds of up to 30km/h.

Weekend outlook The NCM forecasts similar weather patterns for the weekend ahead.
