Nick Webster

Blowing dust across many parts of the UAE on Tuesday will pose a medium risk to asthmatics as temperatures in Dubai are expected to reach 47°C by noon.

It will be windy and sunny throughout the day, and some four degrees hotter than Monday. The weather on Tuesday night is expected to be mostly clear and minimum temperatures will be 34°C.

In Dubai, scattered clouds and high humidity of around 39 per cent will gradually clear through the day with a northwest wind of 14km and hour switching to an easterly wind of 22km an hour by late morning.

It will feel slightly hotter in Abu Dhabi this morning at 46°C, with humidity of 67 per cent falling to around 28 per cent by noon.
