UAE Weather Alert: Rain Forecasted Sunday Night to Monday, Covering Most Areas

UAE Weather: Rain, Cooler Temperatures Expected from Sunday Night to Monday

UAE residents can expect cooler and wetter conditions as the National Center of Meteorology (NCM) forecasts partly cloudy to cloudy skies with rainfall from Sunday night into Monday.

Light to moderate showers have already been reported in Abu Dhabi’s Al Dhafra region and Dubai’s Expo area, while northern and eastern parts of the country may experience heavier downpours as the system develops further.

Humidity, Winds, and Sea Conditions

• On Monday evening and early Tuesday morning, coastal regions will see a rise in humidity.
• There will be mild to moderate winds that blow between 10 and 20 km/h, with gusts as high as 35 km/h, from southwest to northwest.
• The Arabian Gulf will experience slight to moderate waves, while the Oman Sea will remain relatively calm.

Weather Systems Influencing the UAE

An extension of a surface low-pressure system and an upper air trough of low pressure are the main causes of the current conditions.

These factors increase the likelihood of cloudy skies, precipitation, and unpredictable weather patterns by creating atmospheric instability.

The Effects of These Weather Systems on the Area

At ground level, surface low pressure causes precipitation, cloud development, and sporadic gusts of wind.
Cool, humid air is encouraged to rise by an upper air trough of low pressure, which leads to the formation of clouds and more precipitation.

Expected Conditions and Precautions

Light to moderate rain is expected in most areas, with the heaviest rain likely in the north and east. The cold weather is likely to continue as the rain is accompanied by strong winds and a drop in temperatures.

Local residents should take precautions and be informed of weather warnings, especially in areas that are likely to be affected by heavy rain and variable visibility.
