Meteorological authorities in the United Arab Emirates have issued a weather advisory warning residents of reduced visibility conditions due to fog formation across coastal regions. The National Center of Meteorology (NCM) forecasts generally fair weather with intermittent cloud cover for Saturday, February 14th, though atmospheric conditions will create challenging visibility scenarios from Friday evening through Saturday morning.
The humidity levels are anticipated to increase significantly during nighttime and Sunday morning, creating optimal conditions for mist and fog development, particularly along coastal areas. Interior regions will experience humidity fluctuations ranging from 10-30% minimum to 65-80% maximum throughout the day.
Temperature variations across the Emirates will be considerable, with internal areas experiencing lows of 9°C and highs reaching 34°C. Major urban centers will see more moderate conditions: Dubai ranging between 20°C and 30°C, Abu Dhabi between 18°C and 32°C, and Sharjah between 15°C and 31°C.
Wind patterns will remain light to moderate throughout the day, blowing from southeasterly to northeasterly directions at speeds of 10-20 km/h, occasionally reaching 30 km/h. Maritime conditions in both the Arabian Gulf and Oman Sea are expected to remain calm with slight waves.
The previous day’s maximum temperature of 33.9°C was recorded in Barakah 2, located in the Al Dhafra Region, at approximately 1:30 pm on Friday. Meteorological officials continue to monitor conditions closely and advise residents to exercise caution during reduced visibility periods.
