Humidity will hit 80 percent tonight and Saturday morning in some coastal areas
Dubai: The weather across the UAE is forecast to be hot during the daytime by the National Center of Meteorology (NCM). The eastern coastal areas of Fujairah and Kalba are expected to have partly cloudy conditions, providing some relief from the heat.
In general, the weather will be fair, although clouds will begin to develop in the eastern regions by the afternoon hours.
Temperature ranges are expected to be as follows:
- Coastal and island areas: between 40°C to 44°C
- Interior regions: a hotter 43°C to 47°C
- Mountainous areas: a slightly cooler 35°C to 40°C
As night falls, humidity levels will increase, particularly over some coastal regions, making the air feel more oppressive. Winds are anticipated to be light to moderate, blowing from the southeast to the northwest at speeds of 10 to 20 km/h, with occasional gusts during the daytime providing brief moments of relief.
The sea conditions in the Arabian Gulf and Oman Sea are expected to be slight, making it a potentially pleasant day for coastal activities, despite the heat inland.
