  "account": "The National Centre of Meteorology (NCM) predicts rain will fall across northern and eastern regions of the UAE on Thursday, with conditions persisting through the weekend. Temperatures are expected to soar to 38°C, accompanied by high humidity levels of up to 90% in certain areas. The NCM forecasts fair to partly cloudy skies, with convective clouds developing over specific northern and eastern parts, potentially leading to rainfall.\n\nInland areas can anticipate temperatures between 35°C and 38°C, whereas coastal areas and islands will see highs ranging from 33°C to 36°C. Cooler temperatures, between 23°C and 31°C, will prevail in mountainous regions. Overnight and into Friday morning, humidity is expected to rise, with the possibility of mist forming in some coastal areas. Relative humidity may peak at 90% in both coastal and inland regions, while mountainous areas could experience humidity levels up to 80%. Light to moderate winds, blowing from a southeast to northwest direction at speeds of 10 to 25km/h, could occasionally reach up to 35km/h. Sea conditions will remain relatively calm in both the Arabian Gulf and the Oman Sea.\n\nThe NCM warns of additional rainfall on Friday, as convective clouds are anticipated to form over eastern and northern areas during the afternoon. Wind speeds could increase to 40km/h, leading to blowing dust in exposed regions, particularly when clouds develop. Seas may become slight to moderate in the Arabian Gulf and slight in the Oman Sea. Rain chances will continue into Saturday, particularly in eastern areas, where convective clouds might develop in the afternoon. Winds could reach up to 35km/h, and seas will remain slight in both regions. On Sunday, conditions are expected to turn generally fair to partly cloudy, with clouds appearing over some northern and eastern areas. By Monday, winds could strengthen to 40km/h in the sea, causing conditions in the Arabian Gulf to become slight to moderate, before deteriorating to rough by Tuesday morning. The Oman Sea is projected to remain slight. The NCM's five-day outlook suggests that the highest likelihood of rainfall will occur between Thursday and Saturday, particularly in the UAE's northern and eastern regions.",
