Temperatures in Dubai could slip on Tuesday to 39°C while Abu Dhabi should reach 41°C.

Elsewhere, along the coast and islands the maximum is likely to be 42°C while inland is expected to hit 44°C.

Humidity along the coast and in the interior is forecast to be at 95 per cent.

The National Centre of Meteorology said fair weather would include some cloud in the afternoon.

There will be light to moderate winds, freshening at times during the day.

Conditions will be slight to moderate in the Arabian Gulf and in the Oman Sea.

Humidity will be felt at night and into Wednesday morning, with fog and mist forming over some coastal and internal areas.

New process leads to panic among jobseekers

As a UAE-based travel agent who processes tourist visas from the Philippines, Jennifer Pacia Gado is fielding a lot of calls from concerned travellers just now. And they are all asking the same question.  

“My clients are mostly Filipinos, and they [all want to know] about good conduct certificates,” says the 34-year-old Filipina, who has lived in the UAE for five years.

Ms Gado contacted the Philippines Embassy to get more information on the certificate so she can share it with her clients. She says many are worried about the process and associated costs – which could be as high as Dh500 to obtain and attest a good conduct certificate from the Philippines for jobseekers already living in the UAE. 

“They are worried about this because when they arrive here without the NBI [National Bureau of Investigation] clearance, it is a hassle because it takes time,” she says.

“They need to go first to the embassy to apply for the application of the NBI clearance. After that they have go to the police station [in the UAE] for the fingerprints. And then they will apply for the special power of attorney so that someone can finish the process in the Philippines. So it is a long process and more expensive if you are doing it from here.”
