Four-Day Rain Forecast Issued as Winds Reach 40km/hr Across UAE
Rainfall and winds reaching speeds of up to 40 km/hr are forecast to affect parts of the UAE from Monday, November 16, through Thursday, November 19, 2026. Maritime operators, coastal communities, and residents across northern and eastern regions face unstable atmospheric conditions as shifting cloud cover brings precipitation across multiple zones.
Surface Pressure Systems Drive Four-Day Weather Shift Across Coastal and Inland Zones
The National Centre of Meteorology expects light rain to begin over islands, coastal areas, and northern stretches on Monday and Tuesday. Precipitation is forecast to extend further into northern and eastern regions on Wednesday, November 18, and persist through Thursday, November 19.
Wind speeds across the four-day period will range between 10 and 25 km/hr, occasionally freshening to 40 km/hr over maritime zones. Daytime temperatures for Sunday, November 15, range from 27°C to 32°C in coastal areas, 28°C to 32°C inland, and 20°C to 25°C in mountainous terrain, with night minimums falling between 11°C and 16°C in high elevations. Relative humidity levels are forecast to reach 60 to 80 per cent along the coast, 70 to 90 per cent inland, and 60 to 80 per cent in mountain areas. Marine conditions in western waters of the Arabian Gulf will be moderate to rough from Sunday through Tuesday before turning slight to moderate on Wednesday and Thursday, while the Oman Sea will remain slight throughout. The National Centre of Meteorology attributed the overall pattern to an extension of a surface low-pressure system from the east and a surface high-pressure system from the west, accompanied by an upper-air high-pressure extension.
