Dubai may inch past Abu Dhabi for the hottest city on Monday, reaching a highest temperature of 45°C.
Although the day will begin cloudy and humid over both cities, moderate breezes will freshen the air and move the cloud on by the afternoon.
As the sun comes out, temperatures will rise sharply, remaining hot into the evening.
The mountainous areas will be blighted by cloud throughout the afternoon, however. Seas will be slight to moderate in the Arabian Gulf and in Oman Sea.
