On Friday afternoon, the rainy conditions were accompanied by ice pellets. It is not yet clear, though, whether thick clouds in some areas would bring hailstones again today.

Overall, however, most parts of the country will see clear to partly cloudy skies.

Winds will be light to moderate at 15 to 30kmph, but may turn brisk at 40kmph and cause dusty conditions.

Temperatures may hit a high of 47 degrees Celsius in some parts of Abu Dhabi and 42 degrees Celsius in Dubai.

Waves in both the Arabian Gulf and the Sea of Oman will be light.
