Dubai: Get ready for a warm weekend across the UAE as temperatures are set to gradually increase, with humid conditions persisting, especially near the coasts. Residents can expect fair to partly cloudy skies, with some cloud development appearing eastward.

According to the National Center of Meteorology (NCM), Saturday, July 12, will see a slight rise in temperatures across the country. While the overall weather will be fair to partly cloudy, watch for clouds making an appearance in the eastern regions. Humidity will make its presence felt by night and into Sunday morning over some coastal areas.

Winds throughout Saturday will be light to moderate, initially blowing from the southeast before shifting to a northwesterly direction. Speeds are anticipated to range from 10 to 20 km/h, with occasional gusts reaching up to 30 km/h. Sea conditions in both the Arabian Gulf and the Oman Sea will remain slight, making for calm waters.

Looking ahead to Sunday, July 13, the forecast remains consistent with fair to partly cloudy conditions. The gradual increase in temperatures observed on Saturday will continue, promising a warmer day. Humidity will once again be a factor by night and into Monday morning, particularly in coastal areas. Winds will maintain their light to moderate pace, and sea conditions will remain slight. Remember to stay hydrated, seek shade during peak sun hours, and plan your activities accordingly.
