The NCM stated that maximum temperatures will range between 30°C and 43°C, while minimum temperatures will range between 21°C and 29°C.

UAE to experience longest days in June, NCM reports
The National Centre of Meteorology (NCM) stated that during the last third of June, the UAE experiences the longest day of the year, leading to a rise in temperatures across most regions by approximately 2 to 3 degrees Celsius, marking the beginning of summer. The NCM explained that in June, the impact of the Siberian high-pressure system on the country diminishes, while thermal lows begin to affect the region. Also, the Indian seasonal low extends its influence from the east over the UAE for most of the month. Occasionally, cloud formations will appear in some areas, with the possibility of cumulus clouds developing over the eastern mountains in the afternoon, potentially leading to rainfall. The NCM also noted that humidity levels in the air will decrease slightly in June compared to May, particularly in the second half of it, leading to the reduction of chances of fog and light fog formation, with fewer occurrences expected. The average temperature will range between 33.0°C and 35.7°C, with average maximum temperatures between 39.8°C and 42.7°C and average minimum temperatures between 26.8°C and 29.4°C, the NCM reported. The highest recorded maximum temperature was 52°C in Al-Yasyat in 2010, while the lowest recorded temperature was 14.1°C in Raknah in Al Ain in 2004, according to the NCM. The average wind speed is 13 km/h, with the highest recorded wind speed of 125.2 km/h in Jabal Mabrah in 2010 and the average relative humidity during this month is 43%, with maximum relative humidity ranging between 62% and 87% and minimum relative humidity between 14% and 27%. The NCM indicated that the year with the highest frequency of fog was 2021, with 12 days of fog and 6 days of light fog while the highest recorded rainfall during this month was 44.0 mm in Watiyid in 2007.
