Some UAE areas may receive rain till Sunday, NCM expects

The National Centre of Meteorology (NCM) has predicted rainfall in the eastern and southern areas starting Wednesday afternoon, lasting for the next four days.

For Wednesday, the weather is expected to be fair to partly cloudy with the morning bringing humid conditions across some coastal and inland areas, as well as the possibility of light fog in the western region. Convective cloud formation is anticipated in the eastern and southern areas during the afternoon, which may result in rain.

Winds will shift from southeasterly to northwesterly, generally light to moderate but occasionally fresh to strong and dusty due to cloud activity, with speeds ranging between 10 and 25 km/h, occasionally reaching up to 50 km/h. The sea will remain slight in both the Arabian Gulf and the Sea of Oman.

Looking ahead to Thursday, the weather is forecast to be similar, with fair to partly cloudy skies and early morning humidity affecting some coastal and inland areas, along with chances of light fog. Afternoon convective clouds are likely to develop over eastern areas, stretching toward some inland and western zones, accompanied by rainfall.

Wind patterns will remain consistent, transitioning from southeasterly to northwesterly and varying from light to moderate but occasionally turning fresh to strong and dusty near cloud formations, with speeds again ranging from 10 to 25 km/h, peaking at 50 km/h. Sea conditions are expected to stay slight in both the Arabian Gulf and the Sea of Oman.

On Friday, the weather is projected to be fair to partly cloudy, with humid conditions in the morning across coastal and inland regions, potentially leading to fog or mist formation. There remains a possibility of convective clouds appearing in the eastern areas during the afternoon, carrying chances of rainfall.

Winds will follow a similar pattern, shifting between southeasterly and northwesterly, light to moderate overall but occasionally turning fresh and dust-inducing with cloud activity. Speeds will range from 10 to 25 km/h and could reach up to 40 km/h. The Arabian Gulf and the Sea of Oman are likely to continue experiencing slight sea conditions throughout.

Saturday's weather is forecasted to be fair to partly cloudy, with increased humidity in the morning over certain coastal and inland regions. There is a possibility of fog or mist forming early in the day. During the afternoon, convective clouds may develop in the eastern areas, potentially bringing rainfall.

Winds will vary from southeasterly to northwesterly, generally light to moderate but occasionally picking up to fresh speeds and stirring dust near areas of cloud activity. Wind speeds are expected between 10 and 25 km/h, with gusts reaching up to 40 km/h. The sea will remain calm in both the Arabian Gulf and the Sea of Oman.

On Sunday, similar weather conditions may remain, with fair to partly cloudy skies and morning humidity over some coastal and inland regions. Fog or mist may develop early in the day, and convective clouds could form later in the afternoon over northern and eastern areas, increasing the chances of rainfall.

Winds will again shift from southeasterly to northwesterly, ranging from light to moderate, occasionally fresh with dust stirring under cloud activity. Speeds will remain within 10 to 25 km/h, peaking at 40 km/h. Slight sea conditions are expected for the Arabian Gulf and the Sea of Oman.
