UAE to see more scattered rain from Tuesday to Saturday

The National Center of Meteorology (NCM) predicts light to moderate rainfall in scattered regions, accompanied by a drop in temperatures, particularly in western areas, on Tuesday, Wednesday, and Saturday. This weather pattern results from the influence of a surface low-pressure system extending from the east and a surface high-pressure system from the west, along with an upper atmospheric high-pressure system.

According to sources, weather on Monday, is expected to be generally clear to partly cloudy, with intermittent cloud cover developing overnight in western areas and around the islands. Winds will shift from southwesterly to northwesterly, remaining light to moderate but occasionally picking up speed and raising dust, with velocities ranging between 15 and 25 km/h and gusts reaching up to 40 km/h. Sea conditions will vary from moderate to rough in the Arabian Gulf and the Sea of Oman.

On Tuesday, the forecast indicates partly cloudy to overcast skies at times, with a likelihood of light to moderate rainfall in scattered areas. Winds will vary between light and moderate, occasionally turning brisk, originating from the southeast to northeast, at speeds of 10 to 25 km/h, with gusts reaching up to 40 km/h. The sea conditions are expected to be moderate, becoming rough in the northern Arabian Gulf and moderate to rough in the Sea of Oman.

For Wednesday, partly cloudy to cloudy skies are anticipated, with a chance of light to moderate rain in various areas. Temperatures are predicted to drop, particularly in western areas. Winds will range from light to moderate but may become brisk to strong at times, coming from the northwest to southwest. These winds may stir up dust, leading to reduced horizontal visibility, with speeds of 15 to 25 km/h and gusts reaching up to 45 km/h. Sea conditions are expected to be rough to very rough in the Arabian Gulf and rough in the Sea of Oman.

On Thursday, the weather is expected to be clear to partly cloudy at intervals, with a further decrease in temperatures in western regions. Nighttime and early Friday morning may bring increased humidity to certain coastal and inland areas, creating conditions favorable for fog or light fog formation. Winds will range from northwesterly to southwesterly, generally light to moderate, but may occasionally pick up, reaching speeds between 15 to 25 km/h and peaking at 40 km/h. The Arabian Gulf will experience rough to moderate sea conditions, while the Sea of Oman will be moderate to slight.
