Dubai: It does seem to be getting hotter recently but over the next two days, the National Centre for Meteorology and Seismology has confirmed that parts of the UAE will get some respite from the heat.

A much-needed drizzle is most likely to affect areas near the border of Oman and Saudi Arabia, ranging from light to heavy showers in southern and eastern areas. 

The highest recorded temperature on Sunday was 43 degrees Celsius in Saih Al Salem at 1.45pm,  with the lowest recorded temperature recorded on Monday at 5.45am in Jais Mountain, at 21.3 degrees Celsius. 

On Sunday night, the National Centre for Meteorology and Seismology (NCMS) reported light rainfall over Hatta and the adjoining areas, Khor Fakkan, Shawka, and Wadi Al Helo. 

The UAE Storm Centre also posted footage of Sunday night’s rain, accompanied with caption in Arabic, which read: “Now, showers in Hatta near the south eastern area.”

Over the next two days, the weather across the rest of the UAE will be relatively hot and partly cloudy, with light to mild gusts of wind, especially over the western area and the Arabian Gulf.

The level of humidity is likely to increase at night and into the early morning over the coastal areas, while the sea will have mild waves that will increase by Tuesday afternoon.

Weather forecasters at the NCMS said that the weather from Wednesday to Friday will remain the same, with hazy and cloudy weather.

The chance of rain is likely to once again hit eastern parts of the UAE, with southeasterly winds picking up speed. 

The temperature in coastal areas is expected to reach 38-43 degrees Celsius with lows of 18 degrees Celsius, while internal areas will reach a high of 45 degrees Celsius and a minimum of 16 degrees Celsius.

Meanwhile, residents in mountain areas will see the coolest weather on overall, with the temperature ranging from 18-32 degrees Celsius.
