The National Center of Meteorology (NCM) has released its detailed UAE August Weather Forecast. It predicts a combination of intense heat, intermittent dust storms, and elevated humidity.
Moreover, the average temperature is expected to reach around 35.7 °C. On the other hand, relative humidity might peak at 72%. Furthermore, rainfall is predicted to remain minimal at an average of 5.3 mm.
Shifting Breezes to Dominate UAE August Weather Forecast
August in the UAE is expected to see the breeze cycles. Notably, southeasterly winds prevail overnight, and northerly winds dominate during the daytime. Therefore, this dynamic wind pattern could occasionally stir up the dust during the western. So, it could impact the air quality and visibility in some parts of the nation.
The winds in the morning may become southerly and strong, which will lead to dust-laden conditions. However, northwesterly gusts could bring similar challenges in the coastal areas. On top of that, the Oman Sea is expected to remain slightly to moderately. In contrast, the Arabian Gulf will see calmer seas.

Thus, the agency has forecast convective cloud formation and possible rainfall between 2 pm and 8 pm, especially over the eastern and southern UAE. Moreover, winds may intensify to 40km/h, which could reduce visibility across the affected region.
