Dubai: If you're dreaming of a white Christmas, think again, as the current fine weather conditions are set to continue for the rest of the week across the UAE.
Chris Worger, Duty Forecaster, Dubai Meteorological Office, said: "There will be fine weather for the rest of the week – it will be quite cool in the mornings, and warm during the day. There's no chance of rain, and there's not expected to be any hail, snow or otherwise!"
Temperatures have dropped this week, with a minimum temperature of 14 degree Celsius in Dubai on Sunday morning.
They are expected to stay at a minimum of 14 degree Celsius to 15 degree Celsius, with maximums of 24 degree Celsius to 26 degree Celsius over the next couple of days.
Humidity will remain at 60 per cent around dawn, falling to 25 per cent at midday.
A light to moderate wind will freshen the emirates, and will not create any hazardous driving conditions.
