On Tuesday, September 22, residents across the UAE can expect fair to partly cloudy skies, with the potential for convective cloud formation in eastern regions by the afternoon. The National Centre of Meteorology has warned that humidity is likely to rise overnight and into Wednesday morning, which could bring patches of fog or mist to coastal and inland areas. While temperatures in major hubs like Dubai and Abu Dhabi are set to reach highs of 41°C, there is a gentle breeze expected, and sea conditions in both the Arabian Gulf and the Oman Sea will remain relatively calm.

This weather shift coincides with the official arrival of autumn, which begins at 4:05 am on Wednesday, September 23. Experts note that this transition marks a gradual move away from the intense summer heat, with temperatures expected to drop steadily over the coming months. Ibrahim Al Jarwan of the Emirates Astronomical Society confirmed that the season will start with average highs of 39°C, eventually cooling down significantly by December. As autumn progresses, residents can look forward to the arrival of winter clouds by mid-October and a rise in the likelihood of rainfall as the region moves toward the winter solstice.
