UAE Weather Forecast: Rainfall Expected Across Regions From Friday To Monday, Reports NCM
The National Centre of Meteorology (NCM) forecasts a change in the country’s weather patterns, starting from Friday and continuing until Monday, characterized by the potential formation of cumulus clouds. These clouds could bring rainfall of various intensities across different regions. This weather shift is attributed to the influence of weak surface coverage systems and the presence of an extended air mass in the upper atmosphere.
As the weekend approaches, beginning Friday, the weather is anticipated to be generally fair, with occasional partly cloudy skies. Specifically, the eastern regions might witness the development of convective clouds during the afternoon. The conditions overnight into Saturday morning are expected to become humid, raising the possibility of fog or mist in some coastal and inland areas. Wind speed is forecasted to range from light to moderate, transitioning from southeasterly to northeasterly and northwesterly directions, occasionally intensifying, with speeds reaching up to 35 km/h.

For those venturing out to sea, conditions in the Arabian Gulf and the Sea of Oman are predicted to remain calm throughout this period. This provides a brief window of favorable maritime conditions amidst the changing weather on land.
Looking ahead to Saturday, the general forecast suggests fair weather with intermittent partly cloudy skies. The afternoon might see the emergence of some convective clouds in the east, which could be accompanied by rainfall. Similar to Friday, the humidity is set to increase during the night, leading into Sunday morning, with fog or mist potentially developing over coastal and inland regions, particularly towards the west. The wind pattern will largely mirror that of the previous day, maintaining light to moderate speeds with occasional gusts reaching up to 35 km/h.
Weather Outlook for Sunday and Monday
The weather outlook for Sunday and Monday remains consistent with the preceding days, exhibiting generally fair conditions with sporadic partly cloudy intervals. The afternoons during these days may witness the formation of cumulus clouds towards the east, likely resulting in rainfall. Wind conditions are expected to stay within the light to moderate range, veering from southeasterly to northeasterly directions and occasionally intensifying. The sea state in both the Arabian Gulf and the Sea of Oman will continue to be slight, maintaining calm conditions for maritime activities.
Residents can expect varying conditions, including the potential for rainfall, fog, or mist in certain areas, alongside generally fair weather. Maritime conditions in the Arabian Gulf and the Sea of Oman are expected to remain calm, offering a respite for those at sea amidst the changing weather onshore.
