UAE Braces for Sweltering 42ºC Heat Today
The National Centre of Meteorology (NCM) has forecasted generally fair conditions across the UAE for Monday, June 22, though residents can expect some cloud cover to develop over eastern regions. As the day progresses, humidity levels are set to rise overnight and into Tuesday morning, particularly in coastal and internal western zones, where there is a notable possibility of mist or fog forming. Winds will remain light to moderate throughout the day.
