The UAE is set to enjoy a rise in temperatures on Sunday, but there are prospects of rain next week.

The mercury could exceed 30°C in both Abu Dhabi and Dubai during the day, the National Centre of Meteorology said.

Sunday started with sunshine and clear skies after bouts of foggy weather in recent days.

There could be a return of hazy conditions and a drop in temperatures on Monday, the NCM's five-day bulletin shows.

Higher winds could also prompt scattered dust storms on Monday.

Meanwhile, the weather experts forecast light rain in northern parts of the country along with cloud and another drop in temperatures.

But temperatures are predicted to rise again on both Wednesday and Thursday, with humidity on the increase during the evenings.
