Residents across the UAE can expect a mix of rain and extreme heat on Sunday, August 9, according to the National Centre of Meteorology.
The UAE weather rain forecast shows fair to partly cloudy conditions across the country. Convective clouds are expected to form over some eastern and internal areas. These clouds may bring rain to parts of the country during the day.
The chance of rain comes as temperatures remain very high. Some areas of the UAE may see temperatures reach 48°C. The heat will remain a key feature of the weather across much of the country.
Dubai and Abu Dhabi are expected to record highs of around 46°C. Night temperatures will also stay warm, with lows of about 35°C in both cities.
Weather conditions may change during the day as clouds develop over some parts of the country. Residents in eastern and inland areas may see short periods of rain as the clouds grow.
Winds are expected to be light to moderate for much of the day. They will mainly blow from the southeast to northeast.
The winds may become fresh to strong at times. This is more likely when convective clouds form. Stronger winds could also lead to blowing dust in some areas.
Wind speeds are expected to range from 15 to 30 kilometres per hour. At times, they may reach up to 50 kilometres per hour, especially during cloud activity.
The combination of strong heat, cloud growth and changing winds may affect outdoor conditions. People planning outdoor activities should remain aware of local weather updates during the day.
The high temperatures also mean that heat will remain a concern across the UAE. Even areas that receive rain may still experience very warm conditions before or after the showers.
The forecast shows that the rain will not bring a major drop in temperatures across the country. Instead, the weather is expected to remain hot while clouds build over selected areas.
The UAE has seen high summer temperatures in recent weeks. The latest forecast continues that pattern, with some areas likely to reach the upper 40s.
Dubai and Abu Dhabi will remain among the warmer areas, with daytime temperatures expected to reach 46°C. The expected overnight low of 35°C means conditions will remain hot even after sunset.
Residents should also watch for dust if winds become stronger. Blowing dust can reduce visibility in some areas and may make travel more difficult.
Drivers should take extra care if heavy clouds, rain or dust affect road conditions. Visibility can change quickly during periods of strong wind or rain.
The UAE weather rain forecast is expected to vary from one area to another. Eastern and internal areas have a higher chance of seeing convective cloud activity and rain, while other areas may stay mainly fair or partly cloudy.
The weather outlook highlights the typical contrast of UAE summer conditions. Rain may occur in some places, but very high temperatures will continue across the country.
Residents are advised to follow updates from the National Centre of Meteorology as conditions can change during the day.
For Sunday, the main weather features are clear. Some areas may receive rain from developing clouds, while temperatures could reach 48°C. Winds may also strengthen at times and cause blowing dust.
The forecast therefore points to a hot day with a chance of rain in selected parts of the UAE.
