UAE Weather Update: Heavy Rainfall and Cooler Temperatures Expected
The National Centre of Meteorology (NCM) has forecasted a shift in weather conditions for Thursday, November 12, with skies turning partly cloudy to overcast across the UAE. Residents should prepare for scattered rainfall caused by convective clouds, which may intensify into heavy showers in certain regions throughout the day. Alongside the rain, there will be a noticeable, albeit slight, dip in temperatures, providing a welcome break from the recent heat.
In addition to the precipitation, the NCM has issued warnings regarding wind and sea conditions. Southwesterly to northwesterly winds are expected to pick up speed, reaching up to 55 km/hr in some areas, which will likely result in dusty and hazy conditions that could affect visibility. Maritime activities should also be handled with caution, as the Arabian Gulf is predicted to be rough to very rough, while the Oman Sea will experience moderate to rough waves. Meanwhile, major cities like Dubai, Abu Dhabi, and Sharjah are bracing for high temperatures ranging between 30ºC and 32ºC, with nighttime lows settling comfortably in the mid-20s.
