Hot-air masses from Saudi Arabia were responsible for the rise in temperatures across the country, meteorologists said. The temperature in Sweihan, recorded at 1.30pm, made it the hottest area in the UAE. But while the temperature was a degree warmer than that measured in the same place on Sunday, the increase is **t unusual for this time of year, said a forecaster at the National Centre of Meteorology and Seismology. The centre has predicted maximum temperatures of between 44°C and 49°C for the rest of the week, with the country's interior and areas close to the Saudi Arabian border expected to be hotter than those on the coast.
