Temperature, humidity may increase in July in UAE, says weather body
The National Centre of Meteorology (NCM) reported that the lowest temperature recorded on Thursday was 24.2°C in Barakah 2 (Al Dhafra region) at 05:15 local UAE time. The NCM has emphasised that July is one of the summer months characterised by high temperatures, as the region and the UAE are influenced by thermal lows, most notably the Indian seasonal low, which significantly raises temperatures. The NCM explained that due to eastern mountains and the high daytime temperatures, cumulus clouds form, resulting in rainfall in some inland areas. Additionally, during the second half of July, parts of the UAE are affected by the Intertropical Convergence Zone (ITCZ), which brings occasional cumulus clouds and rainfall. According to climate statistics and historical records, the average temperature in July ranges between 34.6°C and 37.2°C, with maximum temperatures averaging between 39.7°C and 43.8°C and minimum temperatures between 29.1°C and 31.4°C.
