The United Arab Emirates (UAE) has officially entered its winter season, marked by a significant drop in temperatures. On November 9, 2025, the National Centre of Meteorology (NCM) reported that the mercury plummeted to 9.8°C in Al Ain’s Raknah area at 6:30 AM, marking the lowest temperature recorded in the country so far this year. This reading underscores the transition from the scorching summer months to the cooler winter period, which typically spans from November to March. During this season, daytime temperatures in most regions range between 15°C and 25°C, offering a refreshing change from the intense heat. Historically, the UAE has experienced even colder conditions, with the lowest temperature ever recorded being -5.7°C on February 3, 2017, at Jebel Jais, the nation’s highest peak in Ras Al Khaimah. Earlier this year, on January 4, 2025, Jebel Jais recorded a low of 1.9°C, just a day after hitting 2.2°C. As winter progresses, residents and visitors alike can expect milder weather, providing a welcome respite and opportunities to enjoy outdoor activities.
