The United Arab Emirates is bracing for a period of unsettled weather over the next five days, with the potential for rain, fog, and dusty winds affecting various regions. Eastern and southern areas may see rainfall, while fog and mist could reduce visibility in other parts of the country.
On Saturday, October 17, convective clouds are expected to form over eastern regions in the afternoon, bringing a chance of rain. Temperatures are anticipated to range between 37°C and 42°C inland, 35°C and 40°C along the coast, and 28°C to 33°C in mountainous areas. The weather will remain fair to partly cloudy overall.
As clouds develop on Sunday, October 18, northern and eastern areas might experience rain, accompanied by increased humidity overnight into Monday morning. This rise in humidity could create conditions conducive to fog or mist in coastal and inland areas.
Monday, October 19, may also see rainfall in eastern and southern regions, with fog or mist potentially forming in some western areas overnight into Tuesday. Winds are predicted to reach speeds of 40 km/h, which could raise dust in exposed locations.
The weather pattern is expected to continue on Tuesday, with the possibility of rain due to convective clouds in eastern and southern parts of the UAE. Winds might intensify to 50 km/h, leading to blowing dust in some areas.
By Wednesday, October 21, conditions will likely be fair to partly cloudy with another chance of afternoon rainfall in eastern and southern areas. Higher humidity levels overnight could result in fog or mist forming in coastal and inland regions by Thursday morning.
These weather changes are attributed to surface and upper-air low-pressure systems impacting the region. Residents and motorists are advised to remain cautious of reduced visibility caused by fog, mist, and blowing dust, especially during early morning and overnight hours.
