Dubai is set to see humidity drop on Thursday with a maximum  of 50 per cent being forecast by the National Centre for Meteorology. Temperatures are expected to be a little lower, too, with the gauge struggling to get above 40°C.

Abu Dhabi can expect higher levels of humidity with the centre predicting anything up to 70 per cent. It may also be a little hotter than Dubai which is to be expected, especially when factoring in Dubai's fresher breeze.

Looking at the UAE as a whole, the centre says it is experiencing "slack pressure systems" but accompanied by high pressure coming in from the west.
