Dubai: September is just around the corner and it’s supposed to signal the start of another season, but UAE residents aren’t waving goodbye to sizzling sunshine just yet.

However, temperatures are moving away from highs of above 40 degrees Celsius, with today’s readings expected to hit a maximum of 38 degrees Celsius, a far cry from Monday’s near 50 degrees.
