The United Arab Emirates is set to experience a spell of unsettled weather over the next five days, with predictions of rainfall, fog, and dusty winds, particularly affecting the eastern and southern regions. These changes are attributed to surface and upper-air low-pressure systems impacting the area.
On Saturday, October 17, convective clouds are anticipated to form over the eastern parts during 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 areas, with skies remaining fair to partly cloudy.
Sunday, October 18, may see more rainfall as clouds develop in the northern and eastern zones in the afternoon. Increased humidity overnight could lead to fog or mist in coastal and inland areas by Monday morning. The weather conditions on Monday, October 19, are projected to bring further rain in the eastern and southern regions, with fog or mist likely in some western parts overnight. Winds may reach speeds of 40 km/h, raising dust in open areas.
Tuesday’s forecast suggests similar conditions, with the potential for rain due to convective cloud formation in the eastern and southern parts of the UAE. Winds could intensify to 50 km/h, leading to blowing dust. By Wednesday, October 21, the skies are expected to remain fair to partly cloudy, with another chance of afternoon rain in the eastern and southern areas. High humidity levels overnight may result in fog or mist on Thursday morning in coastal and inland locations.
Residents and motorists are advised to remain vigilant due to the possibility of reduced visibility caused by fog, mist, and blowing dust, particularly during overnight and early morning hours.
