Sales of coats have gone up and ice has been reported in more remote areas of the country, such as in Raknah, Al Ain, after temperatures plunged to minus 5°C. Another frosty night is expected on Monday and into Tuesday morning. Elsewhere in the country, Tuesday's forecast indicates that the mercury will drop to 6°C, although highs of 25°C are also expected. With the northern hemisphere well into winter, here are five cities that will be warmer than Al Ain at 4am on Tuesday.
