The weather will be fair in general and partly cloudy to hazy at times in the UAE on Wednesday, the National Centre of Meteorology has forecast.
Some clouds will form to the east by the afternoon.
In Abu Dhabi and Dubai, the mercury will reach the low 40s while humidity will be up from Tuesday, in the high 70s. It will be humid by night and into Thursday morning over some coastal areas.
Light to moderate wind will freshen intermittently and blow up dust. Conditions will be slight in the Arabian Gulf and in the Oman Sea.
Real estate tokenisation project
Dubai launched the pilot phase of its real estate tokenisation project last month.
The initiative focuses on converting real estate assets into digital tokens recorded on blockchain technology and helps in streamlining the process of buying, selling and investing, the Dubai Land Department said.
Dubai’s real estate tokenisation market is projected to reach Dh60 billion ($16.33 billion) by 2033, representing 7 per cent of the emirate’s total property transactions, according to the DLD.
