Some areas of the UAE will also be affected during July, especially in its second half, by the extension of the Intertropical Convergence Zone (ITCZ), which is accompanied by the formation of some cumulus clouds and rain falling at times.
The UAE will be also affected by southeasterly winds at night and in the morning and by northern winds during the day, and sometimes by active stirring dust southern winds, especially during the morning, besides northwestern winds which will be sometimes active and dust stirring.
Relative humidity will rise on some days in the early morning in some areas, and fog or light fog may form on some days during July, NCM indicated.
