UAE likely to see gradual drop in temperature on Wednesday: NCM

The National Centre of Meteorology (NCM) predicts a gradual decline in temperatures on Wednesday, with possibility of fog formation and dust-stirring winds in western regions.

The Arabian Gulf will be slightly rough to rough due to weak surface pressure systems affecting the country, accompanied by an upper-air high-pressure extension, the NCM expected.

On Monday, the lowest temperature recorded in the UAE was 23.2°C in Damtha in Al Ain, at 05:30 UAE local time.

The NCM noted that maximum temperatures will range between 35°C and 48°C, while minimums will range between 23°C and 33°C.

Tuesday’s weather is expected to be generally clear, occasionally partly cloudy, and humid during the night and early on Wednesday morning, with possible light fog in some coastal and inland areas.

Winds will be southeasterly, shifting to northwesterly, light to moderate, occasionally active, with speeds of 10-25 km/h, amounting to 40 km/h, the NCM stated, adding that the Arabian Gulf will be light to moderate, and the Sea of Oman will be calm.
