Heatwave Continues: Humidity and Rising Temperatures Grip UAE
The UAE finds itself in the grip of a continuing heatwave as humidity and soaring temperatures persist. The National Centre of Meteorology warns of potentially high humidity levels, reaching 100% in Sweihan, Al Ain, on Wednesday. A humidity reading of 100% signifies complete saturation of the air, impeding the body's natural cooling process. These sticky conditions result from warmer seas, leading to increased evaporation, combined with higher temperatures on land, causing the air to absorb more moisture. Abu Dhabi may experience humidity levels of 95% on Saturday, whereas Dubai is expected to have slightly lower humidity. Thursday's temperatures will peak at 44°C in Abu Dhabi and 43°C in Dubai, accompanied by fog, mist, and light to moderate winds carrying dust.
