Dubai: The temperature shot up to 46 degree Celsius in Sharjah and Abu Dhabi on Wednesday.
The temperature could reach 48 degree Celsius in Jebel Ali and Minhad Air Base outside Dubai on Wednesday, said a duty forecaster at Dubai met office.
It is still very dry with humidity at less than 10 per cent, but things will get worse when the Monsoon rains reach Mumbai around June 10, according to the forecaster. "A lot of moisture will come in from the Arabia Sea during mid-June, pushing humidity levels into the uncomfortable zone," he said.
The weekend will continue to be very hot and dry, with maximum temperatures much above normal for this time of the year. Slightly good weather is expected from Sunday onwards when the cool north-westerly breeze blows in from the sea, dropping down day-time temperature to 37 degree Celsius.
