The United Arab Emirates is bracing for significant weather developments as meteorological authorities issue comprehensive advisories for residents and mariners. The National Center of Meteorology has activated rough sea alerts across coastal regions, particularly highlighting dangerous conditions in the Oman Sea where wave heights are anticipated to reach six feet.
Weather patterns for January 22 indicate partly cloudy conditions with low cloud formations expected along coastal and northern territories. A notable temperature decline continues across the emirates, with Dubai, Sharjah, and Abu Dhabi experiencing maximum temperatures of 23°C. Minimum temperatures will vary significantly between urban centers and mountainous regions, with Jais Mountain in Ras Al Khaimah recording an early morning low of 4.7°C.
Wind patterns will feature moderate to fresh northwesterly and northeasterly currents, occasionally intensifying to 45 km/h during morning hours over maritime zones. These atmospheric conditions will likely cause blowing dust and sand across terrestrial areas, reducing visibility and creating challenging travel conditions.
The Arabian Gulf will experience very rough to rough sea states during daylight hours, gradually moderating overnight. Mariners are advised to exercise extreme caution due to strong northwesterly winds reaching 40 km/h, particularly between Wednesday morning and Thursday evening.
Humidity levels are forecasted to increase substantially during overnight and early morning periods, with mist formation probable in western regions. This combination of temperature fluctuations, wind activity, and maritime disturbances characterizes a complex weather system affecting the UAE region.
Authorities continue to monitor developments closely and recommend that residents stay updated through official channels for the latest weather advisories and safety recommendations.
