The United Arab Emirates is set to experience unsettled weather conditions over the coming days, with forecasts predicting rain, fog, and dusty winds in various regions. According to the National Center of Meteorology, these changes are expected due to surface and upper-air low-pressure systems affecting the region.
Saturday, October 17, could see the development of convective clouds over eastern areas in the afternoon, potentially bringing rain. Temperatures are expected to range from 37°C to 42°C inland, 35°C to 40°C along the coast, and 28°C to 33°C in mountainous regions, with skies remaining fair to partly cloudy.
On Sunday, October 18, rain is possible in the northern and eastern parts of the UAE as clouds gather during the afternoon. The humidity levels are anticipated to rise overnight, creating conditions conducive to fog or mist in coastal and inland areas by Monday morning.
Monday, October 19, might bring more rain to eastern and southern regions, while fog or mist could develop in western areas overnight. Winds are expected to reach speeds of up to 40 km/h, which may cause dust to rise in exposed locations.
Similar weather is forecast for Tuesday, with potential rain in eastern and southern parts due to convective clouds. Winds may intensify to 50 km/h, leading to blowing dust.
By Wednesday, October 21, skies should remain fair to partly cloudy, with another chance of afternoon rain in eastern and southern areas. High humidity overnight could lead to fog or mist on Thursday morning in coastal and inland locations.
Residents and motorists are advised to remain vigilant for reduced visibility caused by fog, mist, and blowing dust, particularly during early morning and overnight hours.
