The NCM also released a yellow alert from 4.30am to 8.30am today, indicating a chance of fog formation in some areas, which could further reduce visibility. The weather forecast suggests fair to partly cloudy skies at times, with low clouds appearing over the eastern coast by morning. Convective clouds may develop towards the east in the afternoon.

Temperatures in Abu Dhabi are expected to range between 31℃ and 42℃, while Dubai will see temperatures between 32℃ and 41℃. Humidity levels will rise by night and Sunday morning over some coastal regions, increasing the likelihood of mist formation. Light to moderate winds are anticipated, occasionally freshening.
