Dubai: Cloudy mornings and foggy nights are going to be your weekend view, according to the National Centre of Meteorology (NCM). And if you’d like to cool off with a dip in the sea, this weekend offers calm, gentle waters and ideal conditions.
The NCM forecasts fair to partly cloudy weather today, with cloud cover increasing in the eastern and southern parts of the country by this afternoon.
The weather is expected to become more humid overnight and on Sunday morning over some coastal and internal areas, such as Abu Dhabi and Dubai, with a high probability of fog or mist formation.
If you’re planning a road trip this weekend, drive carefully, as visibility may drop considerably in such conditions.

Relative humidity (RH) is reaching 85% across most major cities in the UAE.
Temperatures in coastal and island areas are seeing a maximum range of 34°C to 40°C, with Abu Dhabi and Ras Al Khaimah peaking at 41°C, Dubai at 40°C and Sharjah at 39°C. Umm Al Quwain and Ajman will reach 38°C and 36°C respectively, while Fujairah will remain the coolest emirate, at 33°C.
