UAE heatwave pushes inland temps to 48 °C as scattered rains hit eastern regions
The UAE’s National Centre of Meteorology forecasts fair to partly‑cloudy conditions on Monday with convective cloud formation bringing a chance of afternoon rain to eastern, western and some inland areas.
Temperatures in the interior are expected to reach as high as 48 °C, while coastal highs will be between 42 °C and 37 °C and mountain temperatures between 31 °C and 37 °C. Humidity along the coast may rise to about 90 % overnight, increasing the likelihood of fog and mist into Tuesday.
Winds of up to 35‑45 km/h could stir dust, especially where clouds develop. Sea conditions will remain slight in both the Arabian Gulf and the Oman Sea.
