The UAE is set for a hot, dusty and humid spell over the coming days.
Wednesday will be sunny to partly cloudy, with gusty winds that will kick up sand and dust over exposed areas. Temperatures could reach a high of up to 45°C inland and 37°C in the cities of Abu Dhabi and Dubai.
Humidity will rise over the coast overnight, especially in the west, where it could hit 85 per cent. Conditions will be slight to moderate in the Arabian Gulf and Oman Sea.
Humidity will remain high early on Thursday over the coast. It will be fair to partly cloudy with a rise in temperatures, reaching the mid-40°s in many parts, according to the National Centre of Meteorology. Winds will pick up at times, blowing dust over exposed areas during the day. Conditions will be slight to moderate in the Arabian Gulf and Oman Sea.
The weekend will bring more of the same weather. It will be hot, with the mercury hitting up to the mid-40°s in many areas, with clear to partly cloudy skies. Gusty winds will again kick up sand and dust during the day.
The start of the working week will again be humid, which could result in the formation of early morning mist. During the day it will be clear to partly cloudy skies, with a dip in temperatures. Conditions will be moderate to rough in the west in the Arabian Gulf and slight to moderate in Oman Sea.
