Extreme weather events to be 'more frequent' in future, says expert

UAE

Extreme weather events are expected to become more frequent in the UAE, says Dr. Diana Francis from Khalifa University. Due to global warming, the country will witness increased rainfall in spring and longer, hotter summers. These shifts in weather patterns are attributed to changes in atmospheric circulation, fueled by rising equatorial heat. Dr. Francis emphasizes the importance of adaptation strategies to enhance resilience against such events. Collaborative efforts, data sharing, and scientific research are crucial in formulating effective solutions to combat the impacts of climate change. The UAE, along with other countries, must work collectively to address this global challenge and build a sustainable future.
