Meteorological authorities in the United Arab Emirates have issued a weather advisory indicating a period of atmospheric variability across the region. The National Centre of Meteorology (NCM) forecasts isolated light precipitation primarily affecting eastern and northern territories on Sunday, January 11, 2026. While these areas will experience cloud cover, overall conditions nationwide are predicted to range from fair to partially overcast.
Temperature patterns show a slight upward trend with daytime highs reaching 24°C in Abu Dhabi and 25°C in Dubai. However, residents should prepare for noticeably cooler evenings as mercury levels drop to 15°C in the capital and 16°C in Dubai, creating substantial diurnal temperature variations.
Humidity levels are expected to rise significantly during nighttime hours extending into Monday morning, particularly affecting inland and coastal zones. This moisture surge creates favorable conditions for fog and mist development, potentially impacting visibility in susceptible areas.
Surface winds will maintain light to moderate intensity, initially blowing from the southeast before shifting to northwesterly directions. Wind speeds are anticipated to range between 10-25 km/h, occasionally strengthening to 35 km/h. Maritime conditions remain calm with slight sea states reported in both the Arabian Gulf and Oman Sea.
