Winds Reach 45 km/h as NCM Tracks Four Days of Rain and 47°C Heat
The National Centre of Meteorology issued a four-day weather alert on September 2, 2026, predicting convective cloud rainfall, localized fog, blowing dust, and peak afternoon temperatures reaching 47°C across the UAE. Outdoor workers, regional transport fleets, and eastern commuters face sudden visibility drops and localized downpours as unsettled atmospheric conditions stretch through Sunday.
Peak Winds of 45 km/h to Stir Dust Across Western Regions
Winds will reach speeds of up to 45 km/h during convective cloud formation over eastern and southern territories, reducing road visibility and stirring up dust, particularly across western internal areas. Daily maximums in internal regions will reach between 41°C and 47°C, while coastal zones record 37°C to 42°C and mountain locations stay between 30°C and 36°C. Overnight humidity increases on Wednesday and Thursday carry a high probability of mist and dense fog formation along coastal and inland transit routes early on Thursday and Friday. While temperatures are set to rise further on Saturday, fair to partly cloudy conditions will persist into Sunday, accompanied by south-easterly to north-easterly winds blowing at 10 to 25 km/h and gusting to 35 km/h. Sea conditions are forecast to remain slight across both the Arabian Gulf and the Oman Sea throughout the multi-day period.
