Dubai: Dubai residents are experiencing a classic summer afternoon with clear, sunny skies and temperatures peaking at 36°C. Wind gusts have reached up to 17 km/h, offering minimal relief from the heat.

The National Center of Meteorology (NCM) has reported that the lowest temperature recorded across the UAE today was 22.2°C in Barakah 2, located in the Al Dhafra region. The chilly morning reading was logged at 5.45 am, marking a relatively cool start to the summer day in the western part of the country.

Looking ahead, the NCM forecasts fair to partly cloudy conditions on Monday, with a slight rise in temperatures expected across the Emirates. Humidity levels are predicted to increase by night and into Tuesday morning, especially in some northern areas, potentially contributing to mist formation in low-lying regions.

Winds will range from southwesterly to northwesterly at speeds between 10–20 km/h, occasionally reaching up to 40 km/h. Sea conditions are expected to remain slight to moderate both in the Arabian Gulf and the Oman Sea.
