Rain clouds are expected to cover the skies over the western coastline, stretching from Umm Al Quwain to Abu Dhabi and right down to Al Ghuweifat with the chance of scattered rain in the area.
The temperature will reach a high of 33 degrees Celcius, with the temperature expected to dip to 24 degrees Celcius on Wednesday night.
