UAE authority shares 5 tips for car safety amid scorching summer heat
As summer in the UAE reaches its peak, with humidity levels surging and temperatures soaring well beyond 40°C, safety concerns become increasingly pressing. The extreme heat poses risks not only to public health but also to vehicles, infrastructure, and daily routines—prompting residents and authorities alike to take extra precautions during the hottest months of the year. The country is currently experiencing the peak of extreme summer heat across the Arabian Peninsula, a period that lasts until August 10. To alleviate these safety concerns, the UAE Ministry of Interior has shared some tips for the public to keep in mind for their safety: 1. Kids alone in cars Over and over again, UAE authorities warn residents against leaving their children alone in the car for any reason. Kids can turn the car off when left alone, putting them at risk of fainting and suffocating. On Friday, Abu Dhabi Civil Defence Authority shared a simulated scenario to highlight the underlying risks. In the clip, a father tells his child he'll be gone briefly while he runs into the supermarket, leaving the boy alone in the vehicle. After the father steps away, the child climbs into the driver's seat and accidentally turns off the engine, shutting down the air conditioning. As time goes by while the father is away and amid the heat, the boy starts to sweat and later faints. Take a look at the video: خطÙ�رة ذرÙ� اÙ�أطÙ�اÙ� Ù�Ù� اÙ�Ù�رÙ�باذ عÙ�د ارذÙ�اع درجاذ اÙ�Øرارة The danger of leaving children in vehicles during high temperatures @moiuae @ADPoliceHQ #صÙ�Ù�_بأÙ�اÙ� — Ù�Ù�ئة أبÙ�ظبÙ� Ù�Ù�دÙ�اع اÙ�Ù�دÙ�Ù� (@CivilDefenceAD) July 25, 2025 2. Parked cars in running mode Leaving the vehicle running and parked for long periods of time in very hot weather poses several serious risks, as it can cause the engine to overheat, especially if the cooling system is not in top condition. 3. Incense burners The Ministry of Interior warned the public against using incense burners in vehicles. Some of these burners operate using charcoal or heat sources, which can easily ignite nearby flammable materials such as tissues, plastic, or car dashboard materials). 4. Perfumes, cans Motorists are advised to make sure their cars do not contain perfumes, pressurised containers, sanitisers, and lighters. Perfume bottles, aerosol sprays, disinfectant sprays, and even car fresheners are stored under pressure. So in intense hear, their internal pressure increases, causing cans or bottles to explode, which can potentially shatter windows, cause burns or start fires. 5. First aid Having a first aid kit and a fire extinguisher inside the car is of paramount importance all year long, but this simple precaution becomes more and more important in summer due to the increased risk of heat-related emergencies, fires, and accidents.

The UAE also commended the efforts of the Cypriot authorities in containing the fires and reaffirmed its solidarity with the leadership and people of Cyprus during this difficult time. Devastating wildfire Cypriot authorities said on Friday they had contained a devastating wildfire that claimed two lives and destroyed scores of homes on the Mediterranean island. Fire service chief Nikos Logginos described Friday's situation as "very, very good," after small flare-ups overnight. Logginos said that the three-day fire has been contained, but firefighters remained on alert for any flare-ups. "Firefighting forces will be needed in the coming days. Temperatures are extremely high, humidity is low and the terrain in the affected area is challenging," he added. The fire, one of the worst in Cypriot history, burned around 125 square kilometres (50 square miles) of mountainous terrain, according to the Cyprus University of Technology. The Mediterranean island has been gripped by a multi-year drought, while a heatwave this week sent temperatures soaring to 44C and strong winds fanned the flames. An elderly couple, trying to escape the wildfire outside Cyprus's second city of Limassol, died in their car. Health authorities said seven victims were being treated in hospital, with two in a serious but not life-threatening condition. Local authorities reported that, so far, 72 residential homes have been damaged, with 43 completely destroyed. Police are investigating evidence that the fire may have been started deliberately.
