With the arrival of summer in the UAE, residents are experiencing scorching temperatures, but there is some relief in the form of much-needed rainfall. The country has been surprised by the recent hailstorms that have been pelting various areas, providing a break from the extreme heat. On June 21, the highest temperature this summer was recorded at 49.9°C in Mezaira, Al Dhafra region, while heavy rains and hail lashed Khatm Al Shiklah in Al Ain.
The National Centre of Meteorology issued a yellow warning for rain on June 23, cautioning against dust and sand brought about by strong winds in the country. The extension of Indian monsoons is expected to impact the UAE throughout the month, with intermittent cloud development over certain areas. This weather pattern has led to residents witnessing moderate to heavy rain on the new Khor Fakkan road en route to Al Dhaid, as well as in Maleha, Sharjah.
In early June, the road to Hatta also experienced heavy thunderstorms and hail, indicating that these weather phenomena are not uncommon during the summer in the UAE. The weather is expected to be humid in the coming days, with a probability of mist formation over some coastal areas during the night and on Monday morning. It is important for residents to stay updated on the latest weather developments through channels like KT on WhatsApp Channels to ensure preparedness for any weather-related events.
As seen in a video shared by UAE’s weather-related social media account storm_ae, residents can be seen joyfully catching hails during the recent hailstorms. This unexpected weather event has provided some much-needed relief to residents during the hot summer months. With the unpredictability of weather patterns in the UAE, it is important to stay informed and prepared for any changes in weather conditions that may occur. The impact of the Indian monsoons is likely to continue influencing the weather in the country for the foreseeable future.
