Overview
- The National Centre of Meteorology’s five-day outlook points to a short unsettled period, with cloud building and light rain likely over coasts and islands by Tuesday morning.
- Inland areas are set to warm, with highs near 33°C in Dubai and Abu Dhabi and up to 38°C in Gasyoura, according to the official forecast.
- Forecasters expect gusts up to about 40 kph that can lift dust and cut visibility, which could slow road travel and bother people with breathing issues.
- Sea conditions should stay slight in the Arabian Gulf and the Oman Sea, though parts of the Arabian Sea and Gulf of Oman could turn rough by mid-week, posing risks for small boats and offshore work.
- The update follows severe late-March storms that flooded parts of Abu Dhabi and Ajman, keeping communities alert to any new rain and marine hazards.
