The United Arab Emirates is experiencing a noticeable shift in weather patterns as temperatures dip below the 35°C mark, signaling the onset of cooler months. The National Centre of Meteorology (NCM) predicts a mix of fair and partly cloudy skies across the nation, with potential for rainfall in specific regions.

Forecast of Rain in Eastern Regions

Residents in Fujairah and Kalba should prepare for scattered showers, as convective cloud formations are anticipated to bring rainfall to these areas. The northward and eastward parts of the country are most likely to experience this weather change, providing much-needed relief from the usual dry conditions.

Gradual Decline in Temperature

The UAE is witnessing a gradual decrease in temperatures, with daytime highs reaching 36°C in Dubai, Sharjah, and Ras Al Khaimah. Meanwhile, Abu Dhabi and Umm Al Quwain are expected to peak at 35°C. Ajman will see temperatures of around 34°C, whereas Fujairah will be the coolest among the emirates at 33°C.

Relative humidity is on the rise, especially during nighttime and early morning hours, potentially reaching levels of 75% in Abu Dhabi and up to 80% in Dubai. Such conditions may lead to mist or fog over coastal and internal areas, impacting visibility.

Wind and Sea Conditions

Winds will vary from light to moderate, with speeds ranging from 10 to 25 km/h, escalating to 35 km/h in coastal regions and up to 45 km/h inland. These winds could stir up dust, prompting the NCM to advise residents to cover their mouth and nose or stay indoors to avoid exposure.

Sea conditions are expected to remain slight in both the eastern and western coastal areas. Wave heights may reach up to two feet onshore and up to three feet offshore, affecting both the Arabian Gulf and the Sea of Oman.
