UAE weather: hot and hazy day ahead in Dubai and Abu Dhabi



Coastal areas will experience a sunny morning followed by a misty, foggy afternoon on Thursday.

As the day progresses, humidity will build in Abu Dhabi and Dubai, reaching highs of between 65 and 90 per cent in the early evening and overnight.

Top temperatures along the coast will be 40°C, with lows of about 29°C.

Light to moderate westerly to north-westerly winds should help to provide some respite from the sticky conditions.

Conditions will be moderate, becoming rough at times especially westward during the day in the Arabian Gulf, and slight to moderate in the Sea of Oman.

The flights

Direct flights from the UAE to the Nepalese capital, Kathmandu, are available with Air Arabia, (www.airarabia.com) Fly Dubai (www.flydubai.com) or Etihad (www.etihad.com) from Dh1,200 return including taxes. The trek described here started from Jomson, but there are many other start and end point variations depending on how you tailor your trek. To get to Jomson from Kathmandu you must first fly to the lake-side resort town of Pokhara with either Buddha Air (www.buddhaair.com) or Yeti Airlines (www.yetiairlines.com). Both charge around US$240 (Dh880) return. From Pokhara there are early morning flights to Jomson with Yeti Airlines or Simrik Airlines (www.simrikairlines.com) for around US$220 (Dh800) return. 

The trek

Restricted area permits (US$500 per person) are required for trekking in the Upper Mustang area. The challenging Meso Kanto pass between Tilcho Lake and Jomson should not be attempted by those without a lot of mountain experience and a good support team. An excellent trekking company with good knowledge of Upper Mustang, the Annaurpuna Circuit and Tilcho Lake area and who can help organise a version of the trek described here is the Nepal-UK run Snow Cat Travel (www.snowcattravel.com). Prices vary widely depending on accommodation types and the level of assistance required.
