The summer season (June to September) is characterized by extremely high temperature which can be expected to climb up to 50°C,especially over the southern parts.
Research has suggested that global
warming may lead to heatwaves beyond the limit of human
survival, such as in places such as Abu Dhabi and Dubai.
A study published in 2015 said wet bulb temperature (WBT) – a combined measure of heat and humidity – is set to increase if global carbon emissions continue at current rates.
At a WBT of more than 35°C, even the fittest person would
find it impossible to cool their body naturally by sweating, meaning humans
could potentially die within the space of six hours.
Prevailing winds come
over the hot dry deserts of Iran and Saudi and Oman so doesn't pick up moisture
The Tropic of Cancer
passes through the UAE so it receives high amounts of direct sunlight in the
summer
It is mostly low lying
land, whereas mountainous regions have cooler climates as the temperature drops
as you go above sea level
The cool air descends
resulting in low rainfall in the UAE, unlike at the equator where the hot moist
air rises resulting in high amounts of rainfall
As there is little
moisture and no condensation skies remain cloudless and the weather stays dry
Land areas heat up
rapidly during the day, but lose heat quickly which is why deserts are hot
during day and cold at night
