Rise in mercury, foggy weather predicted

Hot and sunny days are expected in the coming days without any marked difference in the weather pattern, said Met sources in Sharjah. Humidity was expected to increase during the night with a chance of mist/fog formation by early morning on Sunday. Sunday morning will be sunny to partly cloudy with a possibility of light winds. Monday will be partly cloudy with light winds freshening at times in the afternoon over the western areas. The sea will be generally calm during these days, they added. According to the National Centre for Meteorology and Seismology (NCMS), there was generally a fair weather on Saturday with day temperatures reaching up to a maximum of 41°C in the internal areas on Saturday. The suspended dust particles in the atmosphere have partially settled. Sharjah recorded a maximum of 39°C on Saturday with winds of up to a maximum of 10 knots. They said that the April temperature this year was far less than the average maximum temperatures recorded in the past several years in Sharjah. The suspended dust in the air was the reason for low average maximum temperatures in April this year. The average temperature was 8°C less than previous several years, Met sources said. The sky was slightly cloudy on Saturday afternoon over the eastern areas.
