UAE residents can expect a mostly sunny weekend on Saturday (September 13), with fair to partly cloudy skies. Clouds may build up in the eastern areas during the afternoon, and it may become convective at times, the National Centre of Meteorology (NCM) said.

Although the country is now transitioning from summer to winter — with the Safriya season, which began on September 6, typically bringing a gradual drop in temperatures — conditions will remain hot over the coming days.
