UAE residents woke up to low clouds and high humidity on Tuesday as the unsettled start to the summer continues.

Temperatures hovered at about 34ºC in Dubai and 32ºC in Abu Dhabi at 7am. Moisture in the air made it feel more like 41ºC, forecaster AccuWeather reported.

The humidity has, in recent days, dropped off in the middle of the day as temperatures rise, before returning in the evening.

Temperatures will peak at 47ºC in the desert and at about 44ºC on the coast on Tuesday.

The National Centre of Meteorology issued a forecast for fog or mist on Wednesday morning and said there is a possibility of rain towards the country's east coast.

From Thursday up to Saturday, conditions will be similar, with humid nights and mornings, and only a very light breeze to act as relief.
