Al Ain: After a break, temperature has gone above 40 degree Celsius in some parts of the country on Sunday.
The weather, which is under the influence of south-easterly and north-easterly winds, changes with wind direction, resulting in hot and humid conditions at times.
"Evenings and nights are largely pleasant with temperature dipping to a minimum of 23 degree Celsius," said a meteorological department official.
