Dubai: It will be sunny and hazy over the next five days with day-time temperatures way below normal for this time of the year, according to the Dubai Met Office.
The maximum temperature on Wednesday was 36.8 degree Celsius, as compared to the June average of 39.5 degree Celsius, said Dr S.K. Gupta, duty forecaster.
Over the weekend the temperature will only climb a degree or two and nights will be pleasant as humidity is still low at 30 per cent. Night temperature will hover around 28 degree Celsius.
From Monday onwards the temperature will climb back to the 40s again. The average humidity during June is usually 64 per cent.
The north-westerly winds of between 15 to 20 knots recorded off Qatar are throwing up the dust haze on Wednesday, but visibility will be good across the UAE for the next few days at around 5km.
