It will be fair to partly and intermittently cloudy over some eastern and northern areas in the UAE on Wednesday.

The National Centre of Meteorology said there was a probability of rain in these areas too.

Temperatures are expected to drop slightly in Abu Dhabi and Dubai with the mercury only creeping above the 30-degree mark. Humidity could reach a maximum of 80 per cent across both emirates.

Light to moderate winds will freshen at times while the sea will be slight in the Arabian Gulf and Oman Sea.

It will remain humid at night-time and into Thursday morning, with a probability of mist over some internal and coastal areas.
