The National Centre of Meteorology projects temperatures to peak at 49°C in Mezaira and Razeen, deep in the Abu Dhabi desert. The mercury will drop to 45°C in mainland Abu Dhabi and 43°C in Dubai during the day.

The projection comes after Al Ain and parts of Dubai were lashed by heavy rain on Monday night, prompting a safety alert from the weather centre. The UAE has also experienced a sustained spell of dusty conditions in recent days, with residents waking up to hazy skies which have reduced visibility on roads. Unstable weather The NCM predicts more dust and fog to sweep the country for the rest of the week, with temperatures and humidity to remain high.

Brining much needed respite from the heat, UAE witnessed its first hail this summer on Saturday evening, alongwith moderate to heavy rainfall in parts of Al Ain. Heavy showers were witnessed in parts of Al Ain like Khatm Al Shakla and Malaqit, according to the UAE's National Center of Meteorology.

Why do we see hail in summer? According to meteorologists, hail during summer occurs when surface temperatures are warm, but the upper atmosphere is still cold enough to support ice. Hail can occur during summer due to strong updrafts in convective clouds. These strong updrafts, fueled by rising warm air, carry water droplets and ice particles high into the atmosphere, where they freeze and become hailstones. Relief from heat The rain and hail bring some respite from the high temperatures the coountry has been witnessing this summer. Last week, UAE recorded the highest temperature of the summer season so far. A temperature of 49.9°C was recorded in Mezaira (Al Dhafra region) on June 21. Average temperatures have remained over 45°C of late, with last month being the hottest May in over 20 years in the UAE with temperature hitting 51.6°C.
