UAE faces unstable weather with rain, strong winds

The United Arab Emirates continues to experience unsettled weather, with rainfall reported across several parts of the country as a low-pressure system affects the region, Gulf News reported, citing the National Centre of Meteorology (NCM).

The NCM said the system has led to partly cloudy to overcast skies, with convective clouds producing scattered rainfall of varying intensity. Winds are generally light to moderate but may gust up to 50 km/h at times, causing blowing dust and reduced visibility. Sea conditions are slight to moderate, turning rough at intervals across the Arabian Gulf and the Oman Sea.

Temperatures are forecast to rise gradually before a notable drop later in the week, particularly on Friday, when rainfall is expected to spread to most areas. The NCM warned of continued unstable weather in the coming days, including strong winds, rough seas, and further rainfall before conditions begin to improve.

By Saturday, skies are expected to clear, turning fair to partly cloudy, with cooler temperatures and north-westerly to south-westerly winds that remain light to moderate but gusty at times, causing localized dust. Seas are likely to remain rough in both the Arabian Gulf and the Oman Sea.

Similar conditions are expected on Sunday, with partly cloudy skies, occasional cloud cover in western areas, light to moderate winds, and rough seas in the Oman Sea and moderate to rough seas in the Arabian Gulf.
