UAE weather: Haze as country avoids effects of cyclone

Slightly hazy and partly cloudy weather is expected, while the UAE is expected to experience no effects from Cyclone Chapala off Oman's coast.

Weather will be slightly hazy and partly cloudy over some areas, with a chance of clouds forming on mountaintops on Sunday afternoon.

Wind will be moderate in general, while seas in the Arabian Gulf and Sea of Oman will be moderate to rough, the National Centre for Meteorology and Seismology said.

The centre said there are no signs that Cyclone Chapala will impact the country. The cyclone is now off the coast of Oman, 610 kilometres from the capital, Muscat.

Coastal areas will have a high of 37°C, while in internal areas, temperatures are expected to reach 39°C.

Humidity will increase during the night and in the early morning.
