UAE To Experience Rain, Lightning, And Thunder Early This Week: NCM Forecast

The National Center of Meteorology (NCM) has issued a weather forecast for the United Arab Emirates (UAE), indicating a significant change in weather patterns due to a surface low-pressure system extending from the Southwest. This system is accompanied by a cold air mass from the West in the upper air, leading to an increase in cloud cover across the country.

According to the NCM, starting Monday and continuing through Tuesday, the UAE will see a gradual increase in cloud cover during the afternoon and evening hours, beginning from the West. This increase in clouds will extend to scattered areas across the country. Additionally, some convective clouds associated with rainfall of varying intensities are expected. These conditions may also include heavy rainfall accompanied by lightning and thunder at times over certain areas.

By Wednesday, the forecast suggests a decrease in both cloud cover and rainfall. However, the weather is still expected to be partly cloudy to cloudy at times, particularly towards the South. Alongside these changes, temperatures across the UAE are anticipated to decrease.

The sea conditions are also expected to be affected by the changing weather patterns. The Arabian Gulf and the Oman Sea are forecasted to experience moderate to rough sea conditions, especially in areas with convective clouds. This could impact maritime activities in these regions.

This weather event is attributed to a combination of atmospheric phenomena, including a surface low-pressure system and a cold air mass influencing the region's climate. Residents and visitors in the UAE are advised to stay informed about the latest weather updates and take necessary precautions during this period.

The NCM continues to monitor these developments closely and provides timely updates to ensure public safety and awareness. As always, it is crucial for individuals to follow any advisories or warnings issued by local authorities regarding weather conditions.
