Temperatures at Sheikh Zayed Cricket Stadium are likely to be 33 to 38 degrees Celsius for the next 15 days, the UAE Meteorological Department forecast Friday.
The hottest weather in the UAE lasts from the end of July to the end of September. The PSL is set to resume on June 5, with the final planned for June 20.
