The UAE will have a scorching and dusty day on Friday, with overcast skies and a probability of rain anticipated for the weekend. Temperatures might reach 45°C in certain regions of the nation on Friday, according to the National Centre of Meteorology, with humidity around 85%.

The NCM predicts growing cloud cover, especially over the eastern coast, with the lowest temperature likely to be 19°C. It also cautioned severe north-westerly gusts of up to 40kph, which could create dust clouds and reduce visibility. This warning was in effect until 6 p.m. The NCM forecasts additional cloud formation and hazy weather for sections of the interior UAE during the weekend. The UAE has been experiencing unpredictable weather, including many days of dusty weather.

“Low clouds [could] appear over the eastern coast by morning with a probability of some convective cloud formation over the mountains by afternoon,” the NCM said. “[It will be] fair to partly cloudy in general and hazy at times during [the] daytime over some [interior] areas … with a chance of rainy convective clouds forming eastward by afternoon.”
