  "summary": "The National Centre of Meteorology (NCM) in the UAE has issued a forecast for Thursday, predicting rain, dust, and strong winds as temperatures soar to a high of 49°C. The weather will be fair to partly cloudy with convective clouds expected to form over eastern and southern areas during the afternoon, leading to a chance of rainfall. The country is experiencing the effects of an extension of a surface low-pressure system from the east and an upper-air low-pressure system. Temperatures are expected to range between 45°C and 49°C in inland areas, 39°C to 45°C along the coast and islands, and 33°C to 38°C in the mountains. Winds are forecast to be light to moderate but may intensify to fresh to strong levels around clouds, causing blowing dust, with speeds reaching up to 45km/h in mountainous areas, 40km/h inland, and 35km/h along the coast and islands. Rain-bearing clouds are also expected on Friday and Saturday over eastern and southern areas, while conditions are expected to stabilize on Sunday.",
