However, a mere rise in temperature does not mean that a heatwave has occurred. The ministry clarified by stating that heat waves occur when temperatures exceed their normal average for several consecutive days.
Sometimes, higher levels of humidity can make the weather feel warmer than it is.
The groups of people that are the most vulnerable to such conditions are: pregnant women, infants, children, the elderly, and outdoor workers.
In order to protect workers from the blazing sun, authorities have sprung into action implementing a series of initiatives. From offering free ice cream to banning outside work in peak hours the Ministry of Human Resources and Emiratisation has conducted at least five initiatives to ease the impact of the heat on workers.
