The UAE will see a chilly start on Monday as temperatures dip slightly across the country.

The mercury will reach a high of up to 26°C in Abu Dhabi and 25°C in Dubai, according to the National Centre of Meteorology.

Skies will mainly be sunny, but areas of the sea, islands and northern areas will be partly cloudy at times.

Winds will be gusty, creating moderate to rough conditions in the Arabian Gulf and in the Sea of Oman.

Temperatures will remain around the mid-20s for the rest of the week, with light to moderate winds, strengthening at times.

Humidity is expected to rise in the evenings and overnight, which could lead to the formation of patches of mist and fog over some internal areas and later in the week, on Thursday and Friday, on the coast too.
