As temperatures in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) are forecast to soar to 46°C on Saturday, residents can also expect high humidity levels that may lead to foggy or misty conditions overnight and into the early morning. This weather pattern is particularly anticipated in coastal and inland regions, impacting visibility.
The forecast indicates that the weather will generally remain fair to partly cloudy, with light to moderate winds prevailing. Inland areas are likely to experience temperatures ranging from 41°C to 46°C, while coastal areas and islands might see slightly lower temperatures between 36°C and 41°C. In the mountainous regions, temperatures are expected to vary from 29°C to 35°C.
Humidity levels could rise to as high as 95% in certain areas, which increases the probability of fog or mist developing late on Saturday and persisting through Sunday morning. These conditions are projected to continue into the upcoming week, with the eastern parts of the country possibly experiencing increased cloud development starting Monday afternoon and a chance of convective clouds forming.
The pattern of fog or mist is likely to reoccur during the overnight and early morning hours through Wednesday and Thursday. During this period, winds may occasionally strengthen, reaching speeds of up to 35 km/h. Meanwhile, sea conditions are expected to remain generally slight, though moderate to rough conditions might occur intermittently in the Sea of Oman.
