The heat will continue to rise in the UAE on Monday, the National Centre of Meteorology said.

In Abu Dhabi, the mercury is forecast to hit a high of 46°C, while in Dubai it will not be much cooler, at 45°C.

While it will be fair in general, the heat will not burn away all cloud cover, with some lingering to the east.

Light to moderate winds will freshen at times during the day, blowing up dust.

Conditions will be slight in the Arabian Gulf and in Oman Sea.

Overnight and into Tuesday morning, conditions will be humid with the likelihood of mist over some coastal areas.
