The National Center of Meteorology (NCM) has provided a weather forecast for the United Arab Emirates for today, Saturday, May 4th, indicating generally fair to partly cloudy conditions across the region. However, cloud cover may increase at times, particularly over the southern areas of the country. Additionally, there is a chance of light rainfall this evening which could have implications for outdoor activities and transportation within the UAE. Temperatures are expected to vary significantly across different parts of the country. In the internal areas, temperatures could soar to a maximum of 41oC, whereas the mountainous regions might experience cooler weather, with temperatures reaching up to 26oC. Both Abu Dhabi and Dubai are predicted to see temperatures rising to 36oC. As the evening progresses, the humidity is set to increase, particularly over some internal and coastal regions. This increase in humidity is likely to lead to the formation of fog or mist by tonight and into Sunday morning, which could pose challenges for early morning travel, including potential delays and reduced visibility on the roads.
The winds across the UAE will be light to moderate but may freshen at times. These conditions could influence various outdoor and maritime activities. In terms of marine conditions, the sea is expected to remain slight in both the Arabian Gulf and the Oman Sea, favorable for maritime navigation and water sports. The potential light rain and the forecasted fog or mist formation could impact both local life and the travel industry in the UAE. For tourists, the weather may affect sightseeing plans, and residents might experience slight disruptions in their daily commute or outdoor plans. Additionally, the weather conditions could influence flight schedules and the safety conditions on highways, particularly during periods of reduced visibility due to fog.
This weather forecast not only serves as a guide for residents and travelers to plan their activities but also highlights the importance of being prepared for sudden weather changes in the region. Such updates are crucial for the travel and tourism industry to manage expectations and ensure the safety of both locals and visitors in the UAE.
