The forecast for Abu Dhabi promises a similar day of clear skies and light breezes.

The National Centre of Meteorology is predicting fair conditions for the UAE in general, but predicted a chance of some fog and mist forming by night and into Saturday morning.

The country is under the effect of slack pressure systems, it said, adding that humidity will increase by night.

Night time temperatures could drop to around 33°C in Dubai and Abu Dhabi over the course of Saturday night and the early hours of Sunday morning.
