Both cities are again forecast to reach maximums in the high 30s.

The National Centre of Meteorology said Tuesday would be fair and partly cloudy, with some clouds forming eastwards in the afternoon.
Light to moderate winds, freshening at times, could blow dust over exposed areas during the daytime.
Conditions will be slight to moderate in the Arabian Gulf and in the Sea of Oman.

The rest of the week promises more of the same.

Key findings of Jenkins report
  • Founder of the Muslim Brotherhood, Hassan al Banna, "accepted the political utility of violence"
  • Views of key Muslim Brotherhood ideologue, Sayyid Qutb, have “consistently been understood” as permitting “the use of extreme violence in the pursuit of the perfect Islamic society” and “never been institutionally disowned” by the movement.
  • Muslim Brotherhood at all levels has repeatedly defended Hamas attacks against Israel, including the use of suicide bombers and the killing of civilians.
  • Laying out the report in the House of Commons, David Cameron told MPs: "The main findings of the review support the conclusion that membership of, association with, or influence by the Muslim Brotherhood should be considered as a possible indicator of extremism."
