The National Centre of Meteorology forecasts that the United Arab Emirates will experience a heatwave with maximum temperatures reaching up to 48 °C in interior areas, while coastal zones will see highs of 42‑45 °C. Convective cloud development is expected over the eastern and southern parts of the country, bringing a chance of isolated showers and brief rain.
