Although the UAE will see a sunny start to Wednesday, clouds and rainfall will follow later in the day.

Some clouds will form in the east and south of the country, with rainfall following in the afternoon, the National Centre of Meteorology said.

Temperatures are set to rise through the day and humidity will increase on Wednesday night through to Thursday morning, the weather bureau said.

Light to moderate winds will cause blowing dust and sand.

The weather bureau expects it to reach up to 44°C in Abu Dhabi and 41°C in Dubai.

It will be moderate in the Arabian Gulf and slight to moderate in the Sea of Oman.
