Residents are advised to stay hydrated, limit outdoor activities during peak afternoon hours, and take precautions against heat-related illnesses.

Wind speeds are likely to range between 10 kmph and 25 kmph, with occasional gusts reaching up to 40 kmph, particularly over coastal and marine areas.
Sea Conditions
Marine conditions will remain relatively calm during most of the day.
The Arabian Gulf is expected to be slight to moderate, becoming rough by late night due to strengthening winds. Meanwhile, the Oman Sea is forecast to remain slight throughout the period.
Summer Safety Advisory
With temperatures approaching 50°C in some regions, authorities continue to advise residents not to leave children, pets, electronic devices, medicines, or flammable items inside parked vehicles.
Drivers are also encouraged to ensure vehicle tyres are in good condition, as extreme heat can increase the risk of tyre-related incidents during the summer months.
As the UAE enters one of the hottest periods of the year, residents are urged to follow weather updates and take necessary precautions to stay safe in the extreme temperatures.
