UAE Weather: No break from the heat yet as humidity and dust expected for the weekend



Forecasters say it's going stay hot and humid through the weekend, with increasing winds bringing dust to some areas.

Fair weather is predicted for Thursday, with some clouds gathering over eastern and southern areas of the country, and humidity increasing in the morning and evening. There will be a chance of fog in northern areas in the morning

Temperatures are expect to stay in the mid 30s for most of the country, dropping down to 20°C in the mountains.

For the weekend, the National Centre for Meteorology and Seismology says we can expect these conditions to continue, with humidity at the beginning and end of the day, and scattered fog patches over a wider area by Friday and Saturday.

Winds will be light to moderate at first, but getting stronger on Friday in the west, especially over the sea. Blowing dust is likely to cause poor visibility in exposed areas.

Boaters are warned that seas could become rough over western areas of the Arabian Gulf by Friday daytime, and will be moderate to slight in Oman Sea.

The biog

Fast facts on Neil Armstrong’s personal life:

  • Armstrong was born on August 5, 1930, in Wapakoneta, Ohio
  • He earned his private pilot’s license when he was 16 – he could fly before he could drive
  • There was tragedy in his married life: Neil and Janet Armstrong’s daughter Karen died at the age of two in 1962 after suffering a brain tumour. She was the couple’s only daughter. Their two sons, Rick and Mark, consulted on the film
  • After Armstrong departed Nasa, he bought a farm in the town of Lebanon, Ohio, in 1971 – its airstrip allowed him to tap back into his love of flying
  • In 1994, Janet divorced Neil after 38 years of marriage. Two years earlier, Neil met Carol Knight, who became his second wife in 1994
