UAE summer temperatures surge near record highs after hottest ever spring
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 centres 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 labourers) are working actually 24/7 in this heat," said Yasir Shahad, a visitor from Australia.

Magnitude 6.2 earthquake: Third quake hits Russia's Kamchatka in a week
An earthquake of magnitude 6.2 hit Russia's Kamchatka, the UAE's NCM's National Seismic Network reported on Monday, August 4. The quake took place at 8.20am UAE time. Meanwhile on Sunday, August 3, a 6.8-magnitude earthquake hit Kamchatka at 9.37am UAE local time. The natural calamity comes days after a massive 8.8-magnitude earthquake struck off Russia's Far Eastern Kamchatka Peninsula on Wednesday, July 30. Tsunami warnings were issued across several countries after a tsunami of up to 4 metres hit the nation, prompting warnings and evacuations stretching across the Pacific Ocean, including the US, Japan, Philippines, Ecuador and China. Several people were injured in the remote Russian region, while much of Japan's eastern seaboard was ordered to evacuate. The US Geological Survey said the earthquake was shallow at a depth of 19.3km, and was centred 119km east-southeast of Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky, a city of 165,000. It revised the magnitude up from 8.0 earlier, and reported a strong aftershock of magnitude 6.9 soon after. After the main earthquake off Kamchatka, 30 additional tremors with magnitudes of 2 to 5 on the seismic scale were recorded. Following the quake, the Krasheninnikov Volcano in Kamchatka erupted for the first time in 600 years, in what scientists believe could have been triggered due to the earthquake.
