The National Center of Meteorology (NCM) in the UAE has issued a weather alert, predicting rain and dust storms in the eastern coastal regions, including Fujairah, Al Ain, and parts of Ras Al Khaimah. The alert covers a period from August 19th to 23rd, advising residents and travelers to exercise caution due to potential travel disruptions, reduced visibility, and fluctuating temperatures.
The National Center of Meteorology (NCM) forecasts generally fair to partly cloudy weather in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) today, May 4th, 2024. Cloud cover may increase over southern areas, with a possibility of light rainfall this evening. Temperatures will vary, with internal areas potentially reaching 41oC and mountainous regions experiencing cooler weather around 26oC. Abu Dhabi and Dubai are expected to see temperatures rise to 36oC. Humidity will increase in the evening, potentially leading to fog or mist formation by tonight and Sunday morning, which could impact early morning travel. Winds will be light to moderate, and the sea in both the Arabian Gulf and Oman Sea is expected to remain slight, favorable for maritime activities. This weather forecast is crucial for planning activities and ensuring safety in the region.
Travelers are being urged to take caution as strong winds are expected to stir up dust and sand across the UAE, especially in the western regions. The warning is in effect from 9 AM Wednesday until early Thursday morning, with the reduced visibility expected to make driving and air travel difficult. Temperatures are forecast to reach a high of 42 degrees Celsius inland, while the marine forecast indicates rough seas in the Arabian Gulf.
