Cool temperatures to prevail in UAE

UAE residents can expect at least one more day of cloudy weather and cool temperatures after light and scattered rains were reported across the country, according to the National Center of Meteorology and Seismology (NCMS).
On Wednesday, temperatures fell across with country, with a maximum of between 19 and 22 degrees Celsius and a minimum of 14 to 17 degrees in coastal areas, and between a maximum of 21 to 24 degrees and a minimum of eight to 13 degrees in internal areas. Mountain areas were considerably cooler, with a maximum of between 10 and 14 degrees and a minimum of seven to 10 degrees.
The waters of the Arabian Gulf were reported as being "rough" to "very rough", with rough seas in the Oman Sea.
According to the NCMS, on Thursday residents can expect partly cloudy weather in general, with light to moderate winds that may cause rising dust in some exposed areas. The Arabian Sea will be rough by day, but will become moderate by nightfall.
Humidity is also expected to increase during the night and early morning over internal areas of the country, with a strong probability of fog and mist.
On Friday, the NCMS predicts that the weather will be fair, but partly cloudy at times. Light to moderate winds is expected, and increased humidity will mean a chance of fog and mist over internal areas again.
Many local residents took to social media on Wednesday to remark that they were pleased with the day's rain.
"Rain in Dubai always feels so comforting," tweeted one local woman.
