Hot and humid conditions will persist today and tomorrow but the mercury is likely to drop on Saturday.
Misty and foggy weather affecting visibility may be expected in some areas, especially around the northern coasts, warned the National Centre of Meteorology.
Relative humidity is set to increase during the night and in the early hours of the day in these areas, leading to the foggy conditions.
Rough seas conditions are expected in the Arabian Gulf but the Oman Sea is likely to be calmer.
Temperatures will vary between 26°C and 45°C in coastal areas today, while internal areas may see a fluctuation between 25°C and 47°C and mountainous regions 20°C to 36°C.
At present, it is 42°C in Dubai but feels like 45°C, while Abu Dhabi has temperatures of 40°C this morning, though it may feel like 42°C.
The wind speed may reach 42km/hr in coastal areas, 38km/hr in internal areas and 36km/hr in hilly areas.
People can hope for better weather with a drop in temperatures on Saturday. During the weekend, fresh winds causing blowing dust, especially in open areas, are likely and the possibility of fog will continue in the mornings.

Common OCD symptoms and how they manifest
Checking: the obsession or thoughts focus on some harm coming from things not being as they should, which usually centre around the theme of safety. For example, the obsession is “the building will burn down”, therefore the compulsion is checking that the oven is switched off.
Contamination: the obsession is focused on the presence of germs, dirt or harmful bacteria and how this will impact the person and/or their loved ones. For example, the obsession is “the floor is dirty; me and my family will get sick and die”, the compulsion is repetitive cleaning.
Orderliness: the obsession is a fear of sitting with uncomfortable feelings, or to prevent harm coming to oneself or others. Objectively there appears to be no logical link between the obsession and compulsion. For example,” I won’t feel right if the jars aren’t lined up” or “harm will come to my family if I don’t line up all the jars”, so the compulsion is therefore lining up the jars.
Intrusive thoughts: the intrusive thought is usually highly distressing and repetitive. Common examples may include thoughts of perpetrating violence towards others, harming others, or questions over one’s character or deeds, usually in conflict with the person’s true values. An example would be: “I think I might hurt my family”, which in turn leads to the compulsion of avoiding social gatherings.
Hoarding: the intrusive thought is the overvaluing of objects or possessions, while the compulsion is stashing or hoarding these items and refusing to let them go. For example, “this newspaper may come in useful one day”, therefore, the compulsion is hoarding newspapers instead of discarding them the next day.
