UAE weather: 7.8°C recorded in Al Ain; lowest this winter season

The United Arab Emirates (UAE) witnessed its coldest temperature of the winter season on Thursday, November 20, 2025, as the mercury plummeted to 7.8°C in Al Ain’s Raknah area at 7am. This record-breaking low was confirmed by the National Centre of Meteorology (NCM), which also noted that the same location had recorded the previous day’s lowest temperature of 9.2°C. As winter tightens its grip, temperatures across the nation are expected to drop further, with Dubai and Abu Dhabi forecasted to experience lows of 23°C and 21°C, respectively. Adding to the wintry ambiance, dense fog enveloped several regions of the UAE on Thursday morning, significantly reducing horizontal visibility. The NCM issued warnings urging residents to exercise caution, particularly while driving, as motorists navigated the foggy conditions at slower speeds. Police forces across the emirates reinforced safety reminders as visibility continued to deteriorate. This weather phenomenon underscores the seasonal transition and its impact on daily life in the UAE.
