The UAE will have a foggy start to Wednesday as temperatures decrease slightly from earlier in the week.

The National Centre for Meteorology forecasts temperatures in Abu Dhabi to range from 28°C to 39°C, and 28°C to 37°C in Dubai.

The weather bureau says that winds may cause dust storms resulting in poor visibility in exposed areas.

Inland and by the coast, humidity could reach as high as 80 per cent, while in mountain areas it should be up to 70 per cent.

Conditions are expected to be rough or very rough in the Arabian Gulf and moderate in the Gulf of Oman.
