If you're heading to the beach, wrap up extra - as winds are expected to reach speeds of 60 km/hr and the sea may be rough at times.

The coldest weekend for the UAE so far

So if you're hoping to catch the suns rays during your weekend, you might want to rearrange. Temperatures are expected to stay in the low to mid 20s for the remainder of January and throughout February - with average highs only increasing in March.
