Thick patches of fog blanketed parts of the UAE early on Thursday.

The National Centre of Meterology issued a warning about the murky weather as it rolled in over patches of the coast, stretching from the outskirts of Abu Dhabi, up to Dubai and deep inland.

It is expected to clear by 9am, leaving a partly sunny day. Temperatures will reach 31°C inland and 30°C on the coast and cloud will build in the west by night.

Friday will be a hot and hazy day and cloudy at times. Temperatures will rise to 34°C on the coast and 31°C inland. Winds will be light to moderate, becoming gusty at times.

Conditions will be similar on Saturday, but the start of the working week will see a drop in temperatures and an increase in humidity.
