NCM Warns of Unsettled UAE Weather Through the Weekend

Strong winds, dust, rough seas, plus a chance of light rain will test outdoor and marine plans.

Overview

  • The National Centre of Meteorology says a surface low interacting with an upper-air low, a pocket of lower pressure high in the atmosphere, will keep conditions changeable across the UAE into the weekend.
  • The latest forecast calls for fair to partly cloudy skies with a slight drop in temperatures and blowing dust over open areas that can cut visibility.
  • Marine conditions remain risky as the Arabian Gulf stays rough and the Oman Sea runs rough to moderate, with offshore waves near 4 to 6 feet and peaks around 7 feet.
  • Winds over coastal areas sit near 15 to 30 km/h with gusts to 45 km/h, while inland and mountain zones see gusts near 40 km/h that can kick up sand on key roads.
  • Humidity rises overnight with a risk of fog or mist in coastal and internal areas, while clouds rebuild over northern and coastal regions with light rain possible late in the weekend and into Monday.
