The UAE is set to experience a shift in weather conditions, with rainfall, a drop in temperatures, and increased humidity forecast for Thursday and Friday.
According to the National Centre of Meteorology (NCM), parts of Abu Dhabi, Al Ain, and other northern, eastern, and coastal areas can expect light to moderate rain, along with the formation of convective clouds.
Already, light rain was reported over parts of Abu Dhabi on Wednesday evening, including areas north of Razeen. Authorities have urged motorists to drive cautiously owing to slippery roads and to adhere to adjusted speed limits in rainy conditions.
Cooler weather and possible fog
The temperature is set to decline gradually across the country. The lowest temperature recorded early this morning was 6.1°C in Raknah, Al Ain, at 3:15am, while the highest reached 27°C at Ras Al Khaimah International Airport at 3pm.
Humidity is expected to rise overnight and into Friday morning, increasing the likelihood of mist or fog formation in some coastal and internal areas. The NCM has advised residents to be prepared for reduced visibility, especially during the early morning hours.
Winds and sea conditions
Northwesterly winds will persist, ranging between 10 to 25 km/h, with gusts reaching up to 40 km/h in exposed areas. These conditions may lead to dust and reduced visibility in some regions.
Mariners have been advised to exercise caution as sea conditions will be moderate to rough in the Arabian Gulf by night, while the Oman Sea will remain slight to moderate.
