The UAE's cold snap is set to continue until next weekend with lows of 10°C in some areas.

Cities will experience a drop in temperatures to about 14°C, with highs in the low-to-mid twenties, peaking at 28°C in Dubai on Thursday.

Frost formed on the 2,000-metre Jebel Jais in Ras Al Khaimah on Friday, with the temperature recorded at 0.8 °C, a video shared by Storm Centre that is run by weather hobbyists showed.

Skies have been fresh and clear since high winds battered much of the country on Friday, with a bright sun and high UV rates.

The coldest place on Sunday was Sila near the border with Saudi Arabia, at 10°C, said the National Centre of Meteorology. The highest temperatures were expected to be in Al Ain and Fujairah at 23°C.

The lowest temperature on Monday was forecast to be in Sila again at 11°C.

The NCM also gave a warning that there was a chance of fog in some areas.

Average lows in Dubai were predicted to be 14°C in the mornings until Saturday, global forecaster Accuweather said.

Red flags
  • Promises of high, fixed or 'guaranteed' returns.
  • Unregulated structured products or complex investments often used to bypass traditional safeguards.
  • Lack of clear information, vague language, no access to audited financials.
  • Overseas companies targeting investors in other jurisdictions - this can make legal recovery difficult.
  • Hard-selling tactics - creating urgency, offering 'exclusive' deals.

WHAT IS A BLACK HOLE?

1. Black holes are objects whose gravity is so strong not even light can escape their pull

2. They can be created when massive stars collapse under their own weight

3. Large black holes can also be formed when smaller ones collide and merge

4. The biggest black holes lurk at the centre of many galaxies, including our own

5. Astronomers believe that when the universe was very young, black holes affected how galaxies formed

Islamophobia definition

A widely accepted definition was made by the All Party Parliamentary Group on British Muslims in 2019: “Islamophobia is rooted in racism and is a type of racism that targets expressions of Muslimness or perceived Muslimness.” It further defines it as “inciting hatred or violence against Muslims”.
