Dubai: The days are growing increasingly hotter, with temperatures steadily on the rise. Residents in the UAE can expect humid weather conditions tonight and tomorrow, June 24 morning, especially over some coastal areas. The high humidity levels add to the discomfort, making the 'feels like' temperature soars above the actual readings.

According to the latest updates from the National Center of Meteorology (NCM), the highest temperature recorded across the country today reached a scorching 47.8°C in Umm Al Gaf, Ras Al Khaimah, at 1:45 PM.

Looking ahead to Tuesday, June 24, expect generally fair weather with periods of partly cloudy skies, particularly over some eastern regions. Light to moderate winds will be blowing from the southwest to northwest, occasionally picking up speed and stirring up dust, gusting between 10 and 25 km/h, and potentially reaching up to 40 km/h at times.

The sea conditions will be moderate, though waves may become rough at times, especially in the western areas of the Arabian Gulf, while the Oman Sea is expected to experience slight to moderate conditions, also turning rough intermittently.
