## Weather Forecast

The UAE is set to experience extreme heat with temperatures potentially reaching 50°C in some areas on Wednesday. Despite the scorching heat, the National Centre of Meteorology (NCM) predicts rain in the eastern and southern regions due to the development of convective clouds in the afternoon.

## Wind and Dust

Winds are expected to be light to moderate but may intensify, reaching speeds of up to 40 km/h in internal and mountainous areas, and 35 km/h along the coast. This could lead to blowing dust, particularly in western areas, as the week progresses.

## Temperature Variations

Internal regions will see the highest temperatures, ranging from 45°C to 50°C, while coastal and island areas will experience slightly cooler temperatures between 39°C and 45°C. Mountainous regions will have temperatures between 33°C and 39°C.

## Humidity and Sea Conditions

Humidity levels are anticipated to rise overnight and into Thursday morning, especially in coastal areas, which may result in mist formation. The Arabian Gulf and Oman Sea are expected to remain calm, although the Arabian Gulf might become rough in the west at times.

## Outlook for the Week

A decrease in temperatures is expected on Thursday, but the chance of afternoon convective clouds will persist in eastern areas through Friday and Saturday. Winds could continue to reach 35 km/h, and conditions are likely to remain fair to partly cloudy on Sunday.
