UAE summer temperatures surge near record highs after hottest ever spring
Workers rest in the shade during the summer heat in Dubai, United Arab Emirates, July 28, 2025. REUTERS/ Amr Alfiky The United Arab Emirates is facing surging temperatures this summer after its hottest spring ever, with temperatures soaring close to record highs at the start of August, according to data from the National Centre of Meteorology (NCM). The extreme heat in the Gulf country is part of a broader global trend, as rising temperatures continue to reach new heights. Last year was the hottest ever recorded worldwide when global temperatures exceeded 1.5 degrees Celsius above pre-industrial era levels. The temperature surge followed the UAE's hottest April and May on record, the NCM said. On August 1, the temperature in the desert town of Sweihan hit 51.8°C (125.2 degrees Fahrenheit), the highest since 2021, the NCM said. This was just shy of the UAE's all-time high of 52.1°C (125.8°F) set in July 2002, also in Sweihan. Inland areas repeatedly experienced daily temperatures above 50°C in June and July, while seaside urban centers like Dubai and Abu Dhabi consistently posted highs in the mid-forties. The NCM expects the rest of the summer to remain hotter than usual, forecasting August temperatures 0.25°C to 0.5°C above average. While the NCM has warned residents to limit sun exposure and avoid being outdoors during peak hours, such precautions aren't always possible for those in outdoor industries, like construction and agriculture. "We are whining while sitting in the air-condition... they [outdoor laborers] are working actually 24/7 in this heat," said Yasir Shahad, a visitor from Australia. — Reuters

According to "24 Oras" Monday, Barangay Bucao in San Gabriel, La Union, was among the areas that were heavily impacted by the inclement weather, which left many homes devastated and caused a power outage in the neighborhood. "Nadaganan ng kahoy tapos 'yung iba, 'yung flooded po sila, we have a river kasi dito eh maraming residents sa area beside the river. Sila po 'yung victim ng baha," said Fr. Jonathan Obar, a Sanggunian member. "Nung humating-gabi na, lumakas yung ulan, lakas pa ng hangin, parang ipo-ipo na umiikot, lahat ng mga gamit naming sa loob, nabasa," said resident Magdalena Cariaga. In La Trinidad, Benguet, strawberry farmers suffered losses after their crops got damaged by the floods, while stores have been closed for almost a month due to the low number of tourists. "Kailangan ng bigas, wala rin benta kasi walang bisita," said Helen Hipol, a resident. The GMA Kapuso Foundation, under its Operation Bayanihan project, distributed relief goods to various parts of the country to help those who have been impacted by the heavy rains and floods. Relief goods were distributed to residents in Quezon City, Valenzuela, Bulacan, Rizal, Pampanga, Zambales, Bataan, Pangasinan, La Union, and Benguet.
