The prevailing weather conditions are being driven by an extension of a weak surface low-pressure system.
The National Centre of Meteorology (NCM) has forecast rising temperatures across the UAE, with fair to partly cloudy conditions and dusty winds expected over the coming days.
In its latest weather bulletin, the NCM said today will see light to moderate winds, freshening at times and causing blowing dust, while seas in the Arabian Gulf and the Sea of Oman may become rough at times.
Temperatures are expected to reach up to 43°C in inland areas, while humidity levels are set to remain high, particularly along coastal regions.
The weather pattern is being influenced by an extension of a weak surface low-pressure system from the east, combined with a high-pressure system from the west and an upper-level high-pressure ridge.
Looking ahead, similar conditions are expected to persist through Friday, with partly cloudy skies and intermittent dusty winds. Temperatures are set to rise further on Wednesday before easing slightly on Thursday, particularly in western areas.
Winds will remain north-easterly to north-westerly, reaching speeds of up to 40 km/h at times, while sea conditions are expected to range from slight to moderate, becoming rough offshore in the Arabian Gulf during certain periods.
