It will be partly cloudy throughout Sunday and into Monday with temperatures in Abu Dhabi and Dubai peaking at about 28C, according to the National Centre of Meteorology.
Fresh winds, strengthening in coastal areas, could reach 25kph with gusts of up to 40kph.

Eid Al Etihad, the official name of National Day, marks the anniversary of the foundation of the UAE, which took place on December 2, 1971.
Firework displays will begin on Sunday, December 1 at Bluewaters and The Beach, JBR, from 8pm. Further aerial shows are planned on Monday by the Hatta sign at 8pm and at the waterfront lifestyle destination at Dubai Festival City Mall from 9.10pm.

Six tips to secure your smart home
Most smart home devices are controlled via the owner's smartphone. Therefore, if you are using public wi-fi on your phone, always use a VPN (virtual private network) that offers strong security features and anonymises your internet connection.
Keep your smart home devices’ software up-to-date. Device makers often send regular updates - follow them without fail as they could provide protection from a new security risk.
Use two-factor authentication so that in addition to a password, your identity is authenticated by a second sign-in step like a code sent to your mobile number.
Set up a separate guest network for acquaintances and visitors to ensure the privacy of your IoT devices’ network.
Change the default privacy and security settings of your IoT devices to take extra steps to secure yourself and your home.
Always give your router a unique name, replacing the one generated by the manufacturer, to ensure a hacker cannot ascertain its make or model number.
