UAE sees slight drop in temperature, rain expected until Saturday

A slight drop in temperature is expected with a chance for cumulus clouds to form, accompanied by rains across separate parts of the country, starting Wednesday and lasting four days, according to the National Centre of Meteorology (NCM).

This is due to the country being affected by an extension of a surface low-pressure system from the east, accompanied by an extension of a high-pressure system in the upper atmosphere.

Wednesday’s weather will be clear to partly cloudy with clouds appearing over some eastern areas, possibly cumulus in the afternoon, especially over mountains, and a drop in temperature in some coastal areas, especially in the west.

The weather, however, will be humid at night and on Thursday morning in some western areas with a chance of fog or light fog.

Light to moderate southeasterly to northeasterly winds will blow, turning to active and dust-stirring at times during the day at 10 to 25 and up to 40 km/h, while the sea will have regular to moderate waves in the Arabian Gulf and regular waves in the Sea of Oman.
