The UAE will be partly cloudy on Sunday and a gradual increase in temperatures is expected.

Winds will become stronger throughout the day, reaching a maximum of 30 kilometres per hour, causing dust to blow across some areas.

Forecasters from the National Centre of Meteorology predict temperatures will reach 36°C in Abu Dhabi and 35°C in Dubai.

A low pressure system will cause clouds to form by afternoon in eastern areas of the UAE, but rainfall is not expected.

Conditions will be slight in the Arabian Gulf and in the Sea of Oman.

Monday will be fairly to partly cloudy over some areas especially eastward. Another increase in temperatures and slight stronger winds are expected.
