The United Arab Emirates is bracing for a period of unstable weather, with forecasts predicting rain, fog, and dusty winds over the next five days. Starting from Saturday, October 17, eastern parts of the country may experience convective clouds in the afternoon, potentially resulting in rainfall. Temperatures are forecasted to range from 37°C to 42°C in inland regions, 35°C to 40°C along the coast, and 28°C to 33°C in mountainous areas, under fair to partly cloudy skies.
On Sunday, October 18, the possibility of rainfall extends to some northern and eastern areas as clouds develop in the afternoon. Increased humidity overnight into Monday morning could lead to fog or mist in coastal and inland areas, affecting visibility.
Further rain is expected in eastern and southern regions on Monday, October 19, with fog or mist potentially forming in some western areas overnight and into Tuesday morning. Winds might reach up to 40 km/h, raising dust in exposed areas.
Tuesday’s weather conditions are expected to be similar, with convective clouds possibly bringing rain to eastern and southern areas. Wind speeds could strengthen to 50 km/h, contributing to blowing dust.
By Wednesday, October 21, skies should remain fair to partly cloudy, with another chance of afternoon rainfall in eastern and southern regions. High humidity levels overnight could result in fog or mist in coastal and inland locations by Thursday morning.
The unsettled weather is attributed to surface and upper-air low-pressure systems affecting the region. Residents and motorists are advised to stay alert for reduced visibility due to fog, mist, and blowing dust, especially during early morning and overnight hours.
