Daytime conditions are forecast to remain fair to partly cloudy, though oppressive summer heat will persist nationwide. Internal desert locations, including Liwa and Al Ain, are expected to bear the brunt of the heatwave with mercury levels climbing to 48°C and 49°C. Meanwhile, urban coastal centers including Abu Dhabi, Dubai, and Sharjah will see maximum temperatures hovering between 42°C and 45°C, amplified by high ambient moisture.

In addition to morning fog, the NCM noted a probability of afternoon convective cloud development over eastern and southern mountain regions. These formations could trigger localized light to moderate rainfall, accompanied by fresh winds reaching up to 40 km/h that may blow dust and sand over exposed areas.

Traffic authorities have urged motorists to exercise extreme caution when navigating fog-prone corridors, advising drivers to utilize low-beam headlights, maintain safe following distances, and monitor variable speed limit signs activated during low-visibility conditions. Maritime conditions in both the Arabian Gulf and the Oman Sea are expected to remain generally slight to moderate.
