Residents of the United Arab Emirates should brace for high temperatures and potentially foggy conditions, as forecasts predict inland temperatures could soar to 46°C on Saturday. The National Center of Meteorology has indicated that high humidity levels may result in fog or mist during the night and early morning, particularly affecting coastal and inland regions.
Weather patterns in the UAE are anticipated to remain generally fair to partly cloudy, accompanied by light to moderate winds. While inland areas might experience the highest temperatures of up to 46°C, coastal regions and islands are expected to see slightly lower temperatures ranging from 36°C to 41°C. In the mountainous areas, temperatures are predicted to vary between 29°C and 35°C.
Humidity levels could peak at 95% in some areas, significantly increasing the risk of reduced visibility due to fog or mist from late Saturday through Sunday morning. This pattern is expected to persist into the following week, with fog or mist likely to recur overnight and in the early morning through Wednesday and Thursday.
Additionally, eastern parts of the UAE may experience increased cloud development beginning Monday afternoon, with a chance of convective clouds forming. Winds could occasionally strengthen to approximately 35 km/h, although sea conditions are expected to remain mostly slight, with some periods of moderate to rough seas in the Sea of Oman.
