Meteorological authorities in the United Arab Emirates have issued updated weather forecasts indicating significant temperature variations across the nation as January concludes. According to the National Center of Meteorology’s latest bulletin, UAE skies will present fair to partly cloudy conditions with low cloud formations anticipated along certain coastal and northern regions.
The weather pattern is expected to bring increased humidity levels overnight through Sunday morning, particularly across internal areas, creating favorable conditions for fog or mist development. This atmospheric moisture combined with temperature fluctuations necessitates heightened awareness for early morning travelers.
Wind patterns will feature light to moderate northwesterly flows, shifting to southeasterly directions with occasional intensification over maritime zones. Wind speeds are projected to range between 10-25 km/h, potentially reaching 35 km/h during peak periods. Maritime conditions in both the Arabian Gulf and Sea of Oman will remain slight to moderate throughout the forecast period.
Temperature readings reveal considerable disparities between daytime highs and nighttime lows. Maximum temperatures across the emirates are expected to reach 28°C, while minimum temperatures may drop to 10°C in certain areas. Specifically, Abu Dhabi residents will experience temperatures ranging from 15°C to 23°C, while Dubai will see slightly warmer conditions between 16°C and 24°C.
The meteorological data from Friday morning established a new benchmark for cold temperatures this season, with Raknah in the Al Ain region recording a brisk 6.6°C at 7:15 AM. This temperature measurement represents the lowest documented reading across the UAE territory during this period.
Residents and visitors are advised to prepare for variable driving conditions during early morning hours due to reduced visibility from potential fog formation. The temperature differential between daytime and nighttime conditions necessitates appropriate clothing adjustments, particularly for those engaging in outdoor activities during morning and evening hours.
