ABU DHABI (ALETIAHD)
The National Centre of Meteorology (NCM) has released the weather forecast for July.
The NCM expects temperatures to rise because the UAE and the region are influenced by thermal lows, especially the Indian monsoon's low pressure.
In July, the eastern mountains and southern parts of the country will experience cloud cover. These clouds form because of the mountains and high temperatures, leading to rain in the afternoon in some interior areas.
The forecast predicts that some parts of the country will also see effects from the Intertropical Convergence Zone (ITCZ), especially in the second half of the month. This may bring rainy clouds at times.
Land and sea breezes are important this month. The country will experience southeasterly winds during the night and morning, while northerly winds will be common during the day. Fresh southerly winds in the morning may cause blowing dust, and there may also be fresh northwesterly winds that can bring blowing and suspended dust at times.
The report notes that humidity may increase during some early morning hours. Mist or fog could form on certain days.
