Parts of the country were covered in fog early on Wednesday.
Visibility was affected in an area on the western border, stretching inland.
The murky weather is expected to clear throughout the morning, leaving a hot and sunny day, with a chance of rain over interior areas.
But the humidity will rise again overnight, bringing a renewed risk of mist and fog, particularly in the west.
Light to moderate winds will cause blowing dust and sand.
The weather bureau expects it to reach up to 44°C in Abu Dhabi and 43°C in Dubai
It will be slight to moderate in the Arabian Gulf and slight to moderate in Sea of Oman.

How do Sim card scams work?
Sim swap frauds are a form of identity theft.
They involve criminals conning mobile phone operators into issuing them with replacement Sim cards by claiming to be the victim, often pretending their phone has been lost or stolen in order to secure a new Sim.
They use the victim's personal details - obtained through criminal methods - to convince such companies of their identity.
The criminal can then access any online service that requires security codes to be sent to a user's mobile phone, such as banking services.
