The UAE’s National Centre of Meteorology (NCM) has issued a comprehensive weather forecast for the period spanning December 25th to 29th, indicating a shift toward cooler and potentially wetter conditions across the nation. Meteorological analysis points to the influence of a weak low-pressure system that will usher in a period of moderate daytime temperatures followed by notably cooler nighttime conditions.
Weather patterns during this period will be characterized by increased cloud cover, with medium and low clouds moving across the country. The NCM indicates a probability of intermittent light to moderate rainfall, particularly affecting coastal islands and northern territories. Meteorological models suggest that precipitation could intensify at times, with the potential for heavier downpours concentrated in the extreme northern sectors of the UAE.
Surface winds are projected to originate from southwesterly to northwesterly directions, maintaining generally light to moderate speeds with occasional periods of increased activity. Maritime conditions in the Arabian Gulf will transition from slight to moderate, though sea states are expected to become progressively turbulent by Sunday as northwesterly winds gain strength.
The NCM has emphasized its continuous monitoring of developing weather patterns through 24/7 operations. The center maintains its commitment to providing timely public updates regarding any significant meteorological developments, ensuring residents and authorities remain informed about potential weather-related impacts throughout the forecast period.
