Summer will officially start on June 21, coinciding with summer solstice when the sun’s rays are directly over the Tropic of Cancer and the country will experience the longest day of the year, the UAE’s National Centre of Meteorology said in a weather advisory.

Air temperatures in June will increase over most areas of the country, approximately by 2°C to 3°C compared to May, noted NCM, adding: “The effect of Siberian high pressure system over the country is weakening and retreating during this month, and the thermal lows affect the area, where the extension of Indian monsoon depression affect the country from east over most periods of this month."

"This means, clouds are developing at times over some areas with chances of formation of cumuliform clouds over eastern mountains during afternoon’s hours which may be rainy at times."

Humidity will decrease slightly during this month compared to May, particularly during the second half. Chances of formation of fog or mist are low, especially in the second half of the month.
