As we step into a new month, all eyes are on the weather. From rising temperatures to unexpected changes in wind and humidity, the next 30 days will be a mix of typical seasonal shifts and a few surprises. Whether you’re planning outdoor activities, traveling, or simply trying to stay comfortable, here’s what you need to know about the upcoming weather.
A Warmer Month Ahead
According to weather experts, the next 30 days will bring a noticeable rise in temperatures across the region. Daytime highs are expected to reach between 35°C and 42°C in many areas, especially inland cities and deserts. Coastal areas may see slightly cooler conditions, thanks to sea breezes, but humidity will likely increase as well, making it feel hotter than it actually is.
Nighttime temperatures will stay warm, averaging around 25°C to 30°C. While that might offer a bit of relief from the heat, it won’t be enough for the region to cool down fully overnight.
Strong Winds and Dust Storms on Some Days
A few windy days are predicted throughout the month, particularly in the first and third weeks. These winds could be strong enough to stir up dust and sand, especially in open desert areas. If you’re sensitive to dust or have respiratory issues, it’s advised to stay indoors during these times and keep windows closed.
Drivers are also warned to be cautious, as visibility may drop in some regions during these dusty periods. Keep an eye on daily weather updates and avoid long-distance travel on days with active dust warnings.
Possible Light Rain in the Northern and Eastern Areas
While it’s not the rainy season, some models suggest the possibility of light showers, particularly in the northern and eastern parts of the country. These areas, including mountainous zones and highlands, might experience quick, scattered rain in the afternoons or evenings, especially when temperatures drop after a hot day.
The chance of rain is low—less than 20% overall—but it’s still a good idea to be prepared if you’re heading into the hills for a hike or planning an outdoor picnic.
Humidity to Increase Near the Coast
Coastal cities like Dubai, Abu Dhabi, and Sharjah are expected to experience increased humidity during the second half of the month. As the sea temperature continues to warm up, the combination of heat and moisture in the air will create a sticky, uncomfortable feeling for many residents.
Humidity levels might reach 70% or higher, particularly during the night and early morning hours. This can make it difficult for sweat to evaporate, leaving people feeling hotter than the actual temperature suggests. Residents are advised to stay hydrated, avoid outdoor activity during peak hours, and wear loose, breathable clothing.
No Major Storms Expected
The good news? Meteorologists don’t expect any major storms, heavy rains, or unusual weather events over the next 30 days. Conditions should remain mostly stable, with hot and dry weather being the dominant trend.
That said, it’s always wise to check the weather before heading out, as conditions can sometimes change without warning, especially in more remote areas or near mountain ranges.
Tips to Stay Comfortable This Month
With a hot and humid month ahead, here are a few tips to help you stay comfortable:
- Stay indoors during peak heat hours: The sun is strongest between 12 pm and 4 pm. Try to schedule outdoor errands in the early morning or late evening.
- Keep hydrated: Drink water regularly, even if you’re not thirsty. Dehydration can sneak up quickly in hot weather.
- Use sunscreen and sunglasses: UV rays can be harsh this time of year. Protect your skin and eyes whenever you’re outside.
- Monitor the air quality: Dusty days can impact your breathing. Use an air purifier at home if needed, and wear a mask if you’re sensitive.
- Plan travel with care: If you’re going on a road trip or visiting another city, check the forecast ahead of time. Knowing what to expect can help you pack and prepare wisely.
Looking Back: Last Month’s Weather Trends
Last month, most parts of the country saw slightly cooler temperatures than usual for this time of year, thanks to a few cloudy days and light winds. Rainfall was minimal but did bring brief showers to some mountainous regions. The air quality was generally good, with only a few days affected by dust.
That calm spell appears to be over, as this new 30-day period is shaping up to be more intense in terms of heat and humidity.
What Does This Mean for Outdoor Activities?
For beachgoers, early mornings and late afternoons are still good times to enjoy the water. Just remember that UV levels remain high, so sun protection is a must.
Campers and hikers should aim for trips to higher elevations where temperatures might be slightly cooler. However, always check local forecasts and carry enough water.
As for daily walks, sports, or exercise routines—move them indoors if possible, or try early morning sessions when it’s not as hot.
Final Thoughts
The weather over the next 30 days won’t be extreme, but it will certainly be warm and occasionally uncomfortable. Staying informed and taking simple precautions can make a big difference in how you experience the month ahead. With a mix of dry days, humid nights, and occasional winds, this is the perfect time to adjust your schedule and take care of your health while enjoying what the season has to offer.
