Rainfall is anticipated in several regions of the United Arab Emirates on Tuesday as temperatures are set to rise to 40°C in some inland areas. The forecast suggests fair to partly cloudy skies, with the development of convective clouds over the northern, eastern, and southern parts of the country, possibly leading to rain. Strong winds are also expected, which may stir up dust.
Wind speeds are predicted to vary between 10 and 25 km/h, with potential gusts reaching 45 km/h in inland areas and up to 40 km/h in mountainous regions. Inland temperatures are expected to range from 35°C to 40°C, with coastal areas seeing slightly lower temperatures between 33°C and 37°C, and mountainous regions experiencing cooler temperatures from 26°C to 32°C.
Humidity levels are forecast to rise overnight and into Wednesday morning in some coastal and inland areas, increasing the likelihood of fog or mist. The Arabian Gulf’s conditions may range from slight to moderate, while the Oman Sea is expected to remain slight.
The unsettled weather pattern, linked to a surface low-pressure system and a weak upper-level low-pressure system, could continue through Saturday. On Wednesday, rain-bearing clouds might form over northern and eastern areas, with winds reaching up to 50 km/h. Additional rainfall is possible in eastern and southern regions on Thursday, predominantly in eastern areas on Friday, and across eastern and northern regions on Saturday.
Fog or mist development is also expected overnight and during the early morning hours in certain coastal and inland locations, particularly in western areas.
