  "account": "Dubai, United Arab Emirates (UAE) is set to experience a drop in temperatures on Thursday, according to the National Centre of Meteorology (NCM). However, unsettled weather conditions are expected to continue, with potential for blowing dust, fog, and further rainfall in various parts of the country over the following days. The NCM predicts fair to partly cloudy skies on Thursday, with clouds forming over eastern regions that may become convective in the afternoon.\n\nMaximum temperatures in internal areas will reach 47°C, a decrease from the 50°C forecast the day before. Coastal and island regions will have highs ranging from 37°C to 42°C, while mountainous areas will see temperatures peak at 38°C. Wind speeds could reach up to 40 km/h across the nation, causing dust to be blown particularly in western areas. The Arabian Gulf will experience slightly to moderately rough conditions, becoming rougher at times in the west, while the Oman Sea will remain relatively calm.\n\nHumidity levels are expected to rise overnight and into Friday morning over some coastal areas, increasing the likelihood of fog or mist. Rain chances will heighten on Friday, with convective clouds developing over eastern and southern regions during the afternoon. Similar weather patterns are forecast for Saturday, featuring another chance of rainfall. Sunday is anticipated to remain fair to partly cloudy, with rain prospects returning to eastern areas on Monday.\n\nWinds may once again reach 40 km/h, and fog or mist may develop over certain coastal areas by Tuesday morning.",
