The UAE is officially transitioning into autumn today, September 23, with the season beginning at 4:05 am. As the sweltering heat of summer finally starts to recede, residents can look forward to clearer skies, though the National Centre of Meteorology (NCM) has warned of localized weather changes. While the forecast remains generally fair to partly cloudy, there is a chance that convective clouds will develop over southern and eastern regions by the afternoon.

However, commuters should remain cautious, as thick fog has prompted both red and yellow alerts across several coastal and internal zones. Visibility is expected to be severely impacted, particularly until 8:30 am, with humid conditions likely to linger into Thursday morning. Temperatures will remain warm, peaking around 41°C in Abu Dhabi and slightly lower in Dubai and Sharjah, while light to moderate winds and calm sea conditions are anticipated throughout the day.
