Fog and Light Rain to Linger Across UAE Through Friday, Meteorologists Say

Officials continue drainage upgrades launched after the April 2024 floods.

Overview

  • The National Centre for Meteorology forecasts humid conditions, occasional active winds and patchy light rainfall across parts of the UAE from February 2 to 6.
  • A red fog warning was issued on Monday as heavy fog blanketed much of the country, with Abu Dhabi particularly affected.
  • Tuesday is expected to be humid with potential fog or light mist over internal and coastal areas, with similar conditions and a chance of light rain on Wednesday.
  • Thursday should turn partly cloudy with a chance of rain and a dip in temperatures along some western coasts, with wet weather easing on Friday though skies may remain cloudy and humid.
  • Temperatures are forecast to hold near highs of 30°C, with lows around 11°C in Dubai and 14°C in Abu Dhabi, as drainage expansion continues under Dubai’s Dh30bn Tasreef programme and Sharjah’s planned upgrades.
