Light rain and temperature drop expected across UAE’s eastern regions

The National Center of Meteorology (NCM) has forecasted light rain in the eastern areas and a significant decline in temperatures on Monday. This weather shift is attributed to the influence of a surface high-pressure system, combined with the impact of a high-pressure system in the upper atmosphere.

The NCM predicts clear to partly cloudy and occasionally dusty weather on Monday, with low clouds forming in the eastern parts that may bring light rain. Temperatures are expected to drop noticeably, accompanied by high humidity during the night and early Tuesday morning, with the possibility of fog or mist developing over some coastal and inland areas. Northwesterly winds will range from moderate to brisk, occasionally strengthening over the sea during daytime hours, potentially stirring up dust and sand on land. Wind speeds are expected between 15 to 30 km/h, with gusts reaching up to 50 km/h. The Arabian Gulf will see very rough to rough seas during the day, calming to moderate conditions by Tuesday morning, while the Sea of Oman is forecasted to be rough early on before becoming moderate or slight later in the day.

Tuesday's weather is expected to be generally clear, with occasional partial cloudiness, particularly in the northern and eastern areas, accompanied by a rise in temperatures. During the night and into Wednesday morning, conditions will turn humid, with the possibility of fog or light fog developing over some inland and western coastal areas. Winds will shift from northwesterly to southeasterly, remaining light to moderate but occasionally picking up, with speeds ranging from 10 to 25 km/h and gusts reaching up to 35 km/h. The Arabian Gulf will have calm to moderate sea conditions, while the Sea of Oman will vary between slight to moderate, occasionally becoming rough.

For Wednesday's weather, the NCM forecasts predominantly clear to partly cloudy skies, with increased humidity during the night and into Thursday morning. There is also a possibility of fog or light mist forming over certain inland and coastal regions. Winds are expected to be northeasterly to southeasterly, ranging from light to moderate at speeds of 10 to 20 km/h, occasionally reaching up to 30 km/h. Conditions in both the Arabian Gulf and the Sea of Oman are predicted to remain calm.

Thursday's weather is expected to be mostly clear with occasional partial cloud cover. Humidity levels will rise during the night and early Friday morning, potentially leading to fog or light mist in certain western areas. Winds will blow from the southeast to the northeast, maintaining a light to moderate intensity at speeds between 10 and 20 km/h, occasionally reaching up to 30 km/h. The waves are forecasted to remain calm in both the Arabian Gulf and the Sea of Oman.
