The heat that has blasted the UAE over the past few days is not going anywhere quite yet, the National Centre of Meteorology said.

Thursday will be "fair to partly cloudy", and again extremely hot.

Temperatures in Abu Dhabi will reach a high of 44°C, while in Dubai the gauge will be fractionally lower at 42°C.

Humidity in both emirates will reach as high as 90 per cent once more, and last into the night and the following morning, when mist may envelope some coastal and internal areas.

As for other elements, light to moderate winds will eddy around the country and the sea will be slight in both the Arabian Gulf and Oman Sea.
