UAE weather: heat and humidity to rise in Abu Dhabi


  • English
  • Arabic

Temperatures are expected to get a little warmer on Wednesday, the National Centre of Meteorology said.

Abu Dhabi could experience anything up to 40°C with Dubai fractionally lower at 39°C.

A wider difference is forecast in humidity levels. The NCM predicts Abu Dhabi could get up to 85 per cent while Dubai's upper limit is given as 70 per cent.

Uninterrupted sun during the day is on the cards but come evening there is a slight chance of cloud formation to the east.

Mist is forecast for Thursday morning, although whether it will be enough to cause a traffic jam, as it did on Tuesday morning on the E11 highway in Dubai, remains to be seen.

Ziina users can donate to relief efforts in Beirut

Ziina users will be able to use the app to help relief efforts in Beirut, which has been left reeling after an August blast caused an estimated $15 billion in damage and left thousands homeless. Ziina has partnered with the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees to raise money for the Lebanese capital, co-founder Faisal Toukan says. “As of October 1, the UNHCR has the first certified badge on Ziina and is automatically part of user's top friends' list during this campaign. Users can now donate any amount to the Beirut relief with two clicks. The money raised will go towards rebuilding houses for the families that were impacted by the explosion.”
