UAE weather: Rains likely; temperatures to dip to 13°C in Abu Dhabi

Residents across the United Arab Emirates are preparing for a weekend marked by rainfall and cooler temperatures, according to the latest forecast from the National Centre of Meteorology (NCM). Meteorological data indicates fair to partly cloudy conditions will gradually give way to increased cloud cover by nighttime, particularly over maritime zones and northern coastal areas.

Temperature readings are projected to remain within comfortable ranges, with Abu Dhabi anticipated to experience lows of 13°C while Dubai may see minimum temperatures of 14°C. Maximum temperatures across the emirates are not expected to exceed 26°C, creating pleasantly cool conditions for outdoor activities.

Wind patterns will feature light to moderate southeasterly to northeasterly flows, maintaining speeds between 10-20 km/h with occasional intensification reaching 35 km/h. Maritime conditions present varying scenarios, with the Arabian Gulf expected to experience slight to moderate waves while the Oman Sea may develop rough waters by Sunday morning.

The weather shift brings a refreshing change to the region’s typically arid climate, offering residents a reprieve from warmer conditions. The NCM continues to monitor atmospheric developments and advises citizens to stay updated through official channels for any weather advisories.
