UAE weather: Slight chance of rain in some areas



ABU DHABI // The national weather centre is predicting a slight chance of rain over the eastern and southern parts of the country where convective clouds may develop today.

The partly cloudy conditions will be accompanied by haze at times, according to the National Centre of Meteorology and Seismology.

The Jais mountain in Ras Al Khaimah recorded the lowest temperature in the country this morning when the thermometer dropped to 20.8°C at 3.30am.

For most of the rest of the country, however, today’s high will double that low. Temperatures along the coast will reach a high of 35°C to 40°C, with a humidity of 60 to 80 per cent.

The interior will reach highs between 39°C and 44°C and the mountain temperatures will peak at between 30°C and 34°C, according to the NCMS.

Light winds across the country will blow between 12 and 25 kilometres an hour and may offer a refreshing breeze.
