Inland, where the mercury will hit 24 °C, will see lows of just 7°C in the early hours.

According to Rain.ae, there will be showers in the far west on the border with Saudi Arabia in Sila in the morning.

Rain could also fall in Dubai around 1pm.

Conditions will become moderate in the Arabian Gulf and Oman sea.

Humidity will rise overnight, raising the risk of early morning fog on Thursday over some areas inland in the east.

The unpredictable weather, which has the start of 2022, is set to continue in the coming days.

Rain could return again on Thursday over northern and eastern areas, and strong winds will kick up dust and sand.

Temperatures will drop again towards the end of the week, with highs of just 19°C in Dubai and 20°C in Abu Dhabi on Friday.

Freezer tips

Always make sure food is completely cool before freezing.
If you’re cooking in large batches, divide into either family-sized or individual portions to freeze.
Ensure the food is well wrapped in foil or cling film. Even better, store in fully sealable, labelled containers or zip-lock freezer bags.
The easiest and safest way to defrost items such as the stews and sauces mentioned is to do so in the fridge for several hours or overnight.
