Dubai: Dusty conditions in Dubai and across the UAE will continue on Tuesday due to the summer heat and dryness brought on by soaring temperatures.
Visibility will not be too bad for motorists, at 6Km to 7Km over the next two days and a breeze will pick up on Monday afternoon, bringing some relief from the baking heat.
A light easterly wind will also cool down the emirates on Monday night, with temperatures of between 30C to 33C.
There's no respite, however, from the climbing temperatures on Monday and Tuesday, with a maximum in Dubai and Sharjah of 47C, Abu Dhabi experiencing 46C and inland Dubai hitting a high of 51C.
Humidity will fall to 7 per cent during peak heat hours and will climb to a maximum of 50 per cent during cooler times.
The baking heat will continue on Tuesday, in a similar vein as Monday, with a variation of one degree on Monday's temperatures.
