Another cold morning lies in store for the UAE after the mercury dipped to minus 2°C in Raknah, a wadi near Al Ain, early on Saturday.

The recent drop in temperature has made sales of hoodies surge across the emirates and so, while Abu Dhabi and Dubai aren't in any danger of reaching Raknah's icy low, wrapping would up warm would again be advisable.

Abu Dhabi is forecast by the National Centre of Meteorology to experience a temperature ranging from 11°C to 24°C.

Humidity is expected to be up on yesterday, with a maximum of 65 per cent being predicted.

Dubai won’t diverge greatly but its average temperature could be slightly higher and humidity slightly lower.

Across the UAE it will be fair to partly cloudy in general.

The cold will return at night, particularly inland and in the mountains.
