UAE weather forecast: Fog risk, convective clouds and temperatures of up to 42°C this week

The National Centre of Meteorology (NCM) in the UAE predicts a week of varied weather conditions, including fog and mist in certain areas and a possibility of convective cloud formations in the east. Inland regions may experience temperatures soaring up to 42°C, while coastal areas and islands will see highs between 36°C and 41°C. Mountainous regions are expected to have milder temperatures ranging from 21°C to 33°C.

On Monday, the weather will start off clear but clouds may form over eastern parts during the afternoon. Overnight and into Tuesday morning, humidity will rise leading to potential fog or mist, particularly in coastal and inland areas. Temperatures on Tuesday are forecast to reach up to 42°C, with coastal and island locations expected to record between 36°C and 41°C. Mountainous areas are anticipated to be cooler, with temperatures between 21°C and 33°C.

The following day, Tuesday, clouds may develop in the eastern regions and could intensify into convective clouds in the afternoon. Another chance of fog or mist is possible over some coastal and inland areas overnight and on Wednesday morning. Wind speeds could increase to 35kph.

Wednesday will likely remain partly cloudy in eastern areas, with the potential for convective cloud development during the afternoon. The NCM also anticipates an ongoing rise in temperatures. Humid conditions might result in further fog or mist overnight and on Thursday morning. Conditions on Thursday and Friday are expected to be fair to partly cloudy, with clouds appearing over eastern areas during the afternoon.

Humidity is forecast to continue overnight, increasing the likelihood of fog or mist over some coastal and inland areas in the early morning. Generally, winds will be light to moderate throughout the period, occasionally becoming stronger, while sea conditions are expected to remain calm in both the Arabian Gulf and the Sea of Oman.
