The UAE woke to chilly conditions on Sunday, with temperatures in the single digits in many areas.

In Dubai and the Northern Emirates, the mercury was below 10ºC — rare in urban areas — with similar conditions in Abu Dhabi.

The National Centre of Meteorology said the lowest temperature recorded across the UAE overnight was 1.9°C on Jebel Jais at 4:15am.

It was so cold that water on Jebel Jais froze. Storm Centre, a UAE group that tracks extreme weather, posted video of layers of ice that formed on standing water.

The next few weeks are likely to be the coldest of the year, and follow heavy downpours in Dubai and the north last week.

January and February are the wettest months of the year, with several days of rain in each month common, followed by temperatures rising in late February and early March.

Ramadan, which begins in March this year, is likely to be the coolest holy month in the Gulf for close to 20 years.

It is not uncommon for the UAE to experience bouts of freezing weather.

Jebel Jais, for example, was covered in snow in 2020, while the mercury regularly falls below freezing in other parts of the country.

In 2021, the NCM recorded an official temperature of -2°C in Raknah Al Ain.

The National reported that residents had to scrape ice from cars and icicles could be seen hanging from trees and plants that year. Hobbyist weather enthusiasts from Storm Centre, a UAE group that tracks the country's weather, said it had even recorded unofficial temperatures as low as -7°C in Raknah.

Meanwhile, the NCM forecast lows of 3ºC on Sunday in rural and mountainous locations, with highs of 22ºC anticipated in the hottest part of the day, with cool winds throughout. The seas are very rough and swimmers are warned to take care.

It also warned of a chance of fog across the UAE for the start of this week.

In its five-day bulletin, forecasters said the fog and mist could persist into Wednesday morning.

Uefa Nations League: How it works

The Uefa Nations League, introduced last year, has reached its final stage, to be played over five days in northern Portugal. The format of its closing tournament is compact, spread over two semi-finals, with the first, Portugal versus Switzerland in Porto on Wednesday evening, and the second, England against the Netherlands, in Guimaraes, on Thursday.

The winners of each semi will then meet at Porto’s Dragao stadium on Sunday, with the losing semi-finalists contesting a third-place play-off in Guimaraes earlier that day.

Qualifying for the final stage was via League A of the inaugural Nations League, in which the top 12 European countries according to Uefa's co-efficient seeding system were divided into four groups, the teams playing each other twice between September and November. Portugal, who finished above Italy and Poland, successfully bid to host the finals.

How to get exposure to gold

Although you can buy gold easily on the Dubai markets, the problem with buying physical bars, coins or jewellery is that you then have storage, security and insurance issues.

A far easier option is to invest in a low-cost exchange traded fund (ETF) that invests in the precious metal instead, for example, ETFS Physical Gold (PHAU) and iShares Physical Gold (SGLN) both track physical gold. The VanEck Vectors Gold Miners ETF invests directly in mining companies.

Alternatively, BlackRock Gold & General seeks to achieve long-term capital growth primarily through an actively managed portfolio of gold mining, commodity and precious-metal related shares. Its largest portfolio holdings include gold miners Newcrest Mining, Barrick Gold Corp, Agnico Eagle Mines and the NewMont Goldcorp.

Brave investors could take on the added risk of buying individual gold mining stocks, many of which have performed wonderfully well lately.

London-listed Centamin is up more than 70 per cent in just three months, although in a sign of its volatility, it is down 5 per cent on two years ago. Trans-Siberian Gold, listed on London's alternative investment market (AIM) for small stocks, has seen its share price almost quadruple from 34p to 124p over the same period, but do not assume this kind of runaway growth can continue for long

However, buying individual equities like these is highly risky, as their share prices can crash just as quickly, which isn't what what you want from a supposedly safe haven.
