The United Arab Emirates is set to experience a mix of weather conditions on Tuesday, with rain expected in various regions alongside strong winds and blowing dust. Inland areas could see temperatures climb to 40°C as the day progresses.
Forecasts indicate that the weather will range from fair to partly cloudy, with the potential for convective clouds forming in northern, eastern, and southern parts of the country. These clouds could bring rainfall to the affected areas. Winds are projected to be light to moderate initially but may strengthen at times, raising dust and reducing visibility. Wind speeds could vary from 10 to 25 km/h, potentially reaching up to 45 km/h inland and 40 km/h in mountainous regions.
Temperature predictions include highs of 35°C to 40°C inland, 33°C to 37°C along the coast and on islands, and 26°C to 32°C in mountainous areas. An increase in humidity is expected overnight and into Wednesday morning, particularly in coastal and inland locations, which could lead to fog or mist formation.
Conditions in the Arabian Gulf are anticipated to range from slight to moderate, while the Oman Sea is expected to remain slight. The unsettled weather is projected to persist through Saturday, with rain-bearing clouds potentially developing over northern and eastern regions on Wednesday and winds possibly reaching 50 km/h. Rainfall could continue in eastern and southern areas on Thursday and be mainly focused on eastern regions on Friday, spreading across eastern and northern areas on Saturday.
The current weather patterns are the result of a surface low-pressure system coupled with a weak upper-level low-pressure system. Residents and travelers in affected areas should remain informed of the latest weather updates and take necessary precautions as conditions evolve.
