The United Arab Emirates is bracing for a mix of weather conditions, with rain expected to fall across various parts of the country on Tuesday. The UAE’s weather forecast indicates the development of convective clouds over northern, eastern, and southern regions, potentially resulting in rainfall. Alongside the rain, strong winds and blowing dust are anticipated, with temperatures potentially reaching up to 40°C in inland areas.
Winds are expected to vary from light to moderate, becoming fresh to strong at times, and could raise dust. Wind speeds are predicted to range from 10 to 25 km/h, with potential gusts reaching 45 km/h in inland areas and 40 km/h in mountainous regions. Temperature forecasts suggest a range of 35°C to 40°C inland, 33°C to 37°C along coastal areas and islands, and 26°C to 32°C in mountainous areas.
As the week progresses, conditions may remain unsettled through Saturday. On Wednesday, rain-bearing clouds are likely to develop over the northern and eastern areas, with wind speeds possibly reaching up to 50 km/h. Further rainfall is expected in eastern and southern regions on Thursday, primarily in the eastern areas on Friday, and extending to eastern and northern areas by Saturday.
In addition to rain and wind, humidity levels are expected to rise overnight and into Wednesday morning in some coastal and inland locations, which may lead to the development of fog or mist. The Arabian Gulf is anticipated to experience slight to moderate conditions, while the Oman Sea is expected to stay slight.
The current weather patterns are attributed to a surface low-pressure system accompanied by a weak upper-level low-pressure system. These conditions are creating the potential for fog or mist to form overnight and during the early morning, particularly in western regions.
