The UAE is preparing for a shift in weather as a low-pressure system moves across the region, bringing a mix of thunderstorms, heavy rain, and gusty winds. Starting from Tuesday, clouds moving in from Saudi Arabia are expected to impact the country, with western regions and coastal areas feeling the effects first. By Wednesday afternoon, the system is projected to intensify, likely triggering convective clouds that will bring downpours to major cities, including Dubai and Abu Dhabi, with the most significant rainfall expected in northern areas and mountainous terrain like Ras Al Khaimah.

Alongside the precipitation, residents should prepare for rough sea conditions and reduced visibility caused by blowing dust and sand. North-westerly winds are expected to pick up speed, and temperatures will see a gradual decline of 4°C to 6°C over the coming days, signaling a cooler transition as autumn continues. While the bulk of this unsettled weather is forecast to subside by the afternoon of November 12, forecasters note that these conditions are typical for this time of year and suggest that some lingering cloud cover may persist in the northern and eastern regions into Friday.
