Rain is anticipated in several regions of the United Arab Emirates on Tuesday, with meteorologists forecasting strong winds and blowing dust accompanying the showers. Temperatures may climb to 40°C in inland areas.
The forecast indicates fair to partly cloudy skies, with convective cloud formations over the northern, eastern, and southern parts of the country. This cloud activity could lead to rainfall. Winds are expected to vary from light to moderate, occasionally reaching fresh to strong speeds, thus raising dust. Inland wind speeds could reach up to 45 km/h, while mountainous areas may experience winds up to 40 km/h.
Temperature projections suggest a range between 35°C and 40°C in inland areas, 33°C to 37°C along coastal regions and islands, and 26°C to 32°C in mountainous zones. Overnight, humidity levels are expected to rise, potentially leading to fog or mist in some coastal and inland locations by Wednesday morning.
Unsettled weather patterns may persist through Saturday. On Wednesday, rain-producing clouds could form over northern and eastern areas, with wind speeds climbing to 50 km/h. Further rainfall is likely in eastern and southern areas on Thursday, concentrated in the eastern regions on Friday, and extending to eastern and northern areas on Saturday.
Fog or mist is also a possibility overnight and during early mornings, especially in coastal and inland areas, with a particular focus on western regions. These weather conditions are linked to a surface low-pressure system coupled with a weak upper-level low-pressure system.
Marine conditions are expected to be variable, with the Arabian Gulf experiencing slight to moderate seas, while the Oman Sea remains slight. Residents and visitors are advised to remain updated on weather forecasts and take necessary precautions during this period of unsettled weather.
