Tips to stay cool in UAE’s sweltering heat
An NCM spokesperson told Khaleej Times that it is still “premature” to determine if this is the hottest summer ever.
However, he said temperatures tend to increase by 2°C to 3°C in June as compared to May. Humidity tends to decrease towards the latter half of the month.
“Clouds develop at times over some areas with chances of formation of cumuliform clouds over eastern mountains. This makes it appear rainy at times during the afternoon. However, chances of formation of fog/mist are less likely to occur – especially in the second half of the month”, the official added.
