UAE weather: Haze and cloudy conditions



Hazy and cloudy conditions will continue over the next two days, with cloud cover increasing in eastern and southern areas.

Forecasters said there will be chances of rainfall.

Light and moderate winds will be freshening at times, but could blow dust and sand over exposed areas, the National Centre for Meteorology and Seismology said on Tuesday.

Temperatures across the country will continue to be "hot to very hot", with highs ranging 43°C to 49°C in interior areas,  41°C to 47°C in coastal areas, and between 31°C and 39°C in the mountains.

Humidity levels are to increase at night and in the morning over the coastal areas with the maximum humidity in the coast forecast to touch highs of 90 per cent.

Sea will be slight to moderate in both the Arabian Gulf and the Sea of Oman.

Another way to earn air miles

In addition to the Emirates and Etihad programmes, there is the Air Miles Middle East card, which offers members the ability to choose any airline, has no black-out dates and no restrictions on seat availability. Air Miles is linked up to HSBC credit cards and can also be earned through retail partners such as Spinneys, Sharaf DG and The Toy Store.

An Emirates Dubai-London round-trip ticket costs 180,000 miles on the Air Miles website. But customers earn these ‘miles’ at a much faster rate than airline miles. Adidas offers two air miles per Dh1 spent. Air Miles has partnerships with websites as well, so booking.com and agoda.com offer three miles per Dh1 spent.

“If you use your HSBC credit card when shopping at our partners, you are able to earn Air Miles twice which will mean you can get that flight reward faster and for less spend,” says Paul Lacey, the managing director for Europe, Middle East and India for Aimia, which owns and operates Air Miles Middle East.
