  "account": "Dubai is set to experience temperatures soaring to 50°C on Wednesday, according to the National Centre of Meteorology (NCM). The heat will be felt most intensely in internal areas, with readings ranging from 45°C to 50°C, while coastal and island regions will see temperatures between 39°C and 45°C. Mountain areas will be slightly cooler, ranging from 33°C to 39°C. Light to moderate winds may reach up to 40 km/h in internal and mountainous areas, and 35 km/h along the coast. These winds have the potential to stir up dust. Overnight humidity may increase in some coastal areas, potentially leading to mist. Sea conditions are expected to remain calm in both the Arabian Gulf and Oman Sea. Temperatures are forecast to decrease on Thursday, but winds of 40 km/h could cause blowing dust in western areas. The Arabian Gulf may experience rough conditions at times in the west. The chance of afternoon convective clouds will persist in eastern areas through Friday and Saturday, with winds potentially reaching up to 35 km/h. Fair to partly cloudy conditions are anticipated to continue on Sunday.",
