As temperatures in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) are predicted to soar to 46°C in some areas on Saturday, residents should brace for continued foggy conditions due to high humidity levels. The forecast indicates that the weather will generally remain fair to partly cloudy, accompanied by light to moderate winds.
Inland regions of the UAE are expected to experience temperatures ranging between 41°C and 46°C. Meanwhile, coastal areas and islands may see slightly cooler temperatures, with forecasts predicting between 36°C and 41°C. In the mountainous regions, the mercury is anticipated to settle between 29°C and 35°C.
The humidity levels could rise to as high as 95%, contributing to the formation of fog or mist overnight and during the early morning, particularly in coastal and inland locations. This increase in humidity is likely to result in reduced visibility from late Saturday through Sunday morning.
These weather patterns are expected to persist throughout the coming week. Starting Monday afternoon, the eastern parts of the country might experience increased cloud development, which could lead to the formation of convective clouds. The presence of fog or mist is anticipated to be a recurring phenomenon during the overnight and early morning hours through Wednesday and Thursday.
While winds may occasionally strengthen, reaching speeds of up to 35 km/h, sea conditions are generally predicted to remain slight. However, there could be periods of moderate to rough conditions in the Sea of Oman.
