Despite the cloud cover, the heat will remain intense. Coastal and island areas could record temperatures between 43°C and 47°C. Internal areas may see even higher temperatures, ranging from 44°C to 49°C.
Mountainous areas will remain cooler. Temperatures there are expected to range between 32°C and 37°C. This makes higher areas such as Jebel Jais and Jebel Hafeet relatively more comfortable for those planning a weekend outing.
