Every year, temperatures approach and even exceed the boiling point of 50 degrees Celsius. And, as much as we hate to be the bearer of bad news, that dreaded time is rapidly approaching, possibly as soon as this week.
According to the National Centre of Meteorology (NCM), the highest temperature recorded yesterday in Al Dhafra Region was 49.1 degrees Celsius.
Here’s a look at the weather forecast for the coming week for the entire UAE.

So, what is the highest temperature ever measured in the UAE?
The official record for the UAE’s highest ever temperature — and remember, these are recorded in the shade, by specialist calibrated equipment, so Insta Story screenshots of your car’s thermometer don’t count, Susan — was 52.1oC (125.78oF) in July 2002.
But which month has the highest temperature?
From 1977 to 2021, the National Centre of Meteorology and Seismology (NCMS) collected data at a weather station near Dubai International Airport.
What were the results? Almost all of the temperature indicators peak in August, indicating that it is the hottest month in Dubai overall.
