The mercury has already dipped to lows of just over 11°C in some parts of the country. Al Ain’s Raknah recorded 11.3°C on Tuesday morning. And according to the NCM’s forecast, it’s going to get chillier.
NCM predicts that Thursday is set be partly cloudy, with a probability of fog or mist formation over some internal areas. On Friday, low clouds will appear over the islands and some coastal and Eastern areas. Saturday will be clearer, but will continue to be partly cloudy at times.

Staycations continue to be very popular among residents this UAE National Day break, with dnata saying beach staycations in Dubai and Ras Al Khaimah are trending. Hotel rates in the country have spiked due to the influx of fans for the Fifa World Cup.
Hoteliers in Dubai are reporting a 100 per cent occupancy rate.
A search online for stays in the UAE over the National Day break in a beach-facing four- or five-star property throws up rates that start at Dh1,500 for two adults for three nights.
