6°C Temperature Drop and Heavy Rain Forecast Across UAE Cities
Unsettled weather is moving across the country this week, bringing cloud cover and rain from Al Dhafra and the western islands to Ras Al Khaimah. Mountainous zones and northern areas face the heaviest showers, while coastal hubs including Abu Dhabi, Dubai, and Sharjah are set for lighter, variable rainfall.
Winds Up to 45km/h, Rough Seas, and Lower Temperatures Expected
Drive conditions and marine routines will feel the brunt of the weather system through Thursday afternoon. Strong south-westerly winds reaching up to 45km/h will kick up dust and sand across open roads while worsening sea conditions along the coast.
Thermometers are set to drop by up to 6°C as cloud cover thickens across the emirates. Thunderstorms may also build over inland corridors between Dubai and Al Ain, stretching toward the north-east of Al Ain as convective clouds deepen.
According to Dr Ahmed Habib from the National Centre of Meteorology (NCM), moisture-laden winds from the Arabian Sea and an extending Red Sea trough are driving the rain system alongside cloud formations arriving from Saudi Arabia.
The National Centre of Meteorology expects the unsettled weather and cloud activity to clear by the afternoon of November 12.
