Residents across the UAE can expect cloudy skies with chances of scattered rainfall, particularly in Northern, Eastern, and coastal areas. The National Centre of Meteorology (NCM) has also predicted a significant drop in temperatures, marking the onset of cooler weather.

Wind and Visibility

Moderate to fresh winds are expected to occasionally strengthen, especially over the sea. These winds may cause blowing dust inland, potentially reducing visibility in some regions.

Mariners Advised to Exercise Caution

The Arabian Gulf is forecasted to be very rough, while the Oman Sea will experience rough to moderate conditions. The NCM has urged mariners to remain cautious and avoid activities like diving or swimming in these hazardous sea conditions.

Temperature and Humidity

The day’s maximum temperatures are expected to range between 21°C and 24°C, with humidity levels reaching up to 80% in some areas.

Rain Ushers in the New Year

Some parts of the UAE, including Dubai, Sharjah, and Umm Al Quwain, welcomed the New Year with light to moderate rains and cooler weather.

Residents are advised to plan accordingly, stay updated on weather alerts, and take necessary precautions during this period of cooler and unpredictable weather.
