UAE weather: Slightly cooler for new working week



Freshening winds will keep temperatures below 40C for much of the UAE on Saturday with Fujairah likely to enjoy the coolest weather.

The mercury will reach 35C on the east coast, where there is a slight chance of cloud turning into light rain into the afternoon.

Temperatures on the west coast will drop from a high of 38C in Abu Dhabi on Saturday to about 36C in Dubai and the capital on Sunday, although it will remain hazy with increasing humidity overnight.

Mist patches could form leading to reduced visibility in places early on Sunday before another hot, dry day across the country.

WHAT ARE NFTs?

     

 

    

 

   

 

Non-fungible tokens (NFTs) are tokens that represent ownership of unique items. They allow the tokenisation of things such as art, collectibles and even real estate.

 

An NFT can have only one official owner at one time. And since they're minted and secured on the Ethereum blockchain, no one can modify the record of ownership, not even copy-paste it into a new one.

 

This means NFTs are not interchangeable and cannot be exchanged with other items. In contrast, fungible items, such as fiat currencies, can be exchanged because their value defines them rather than their unique properties.
