Rain probability expected in Dubai with temperature drop to 24°C

The National Center of Meteorology reported that the weather on Saturday will be clear or partly cloudy.

In the afternoon, there is a possibility of convective clouds forming from both the east and the west, which may be accompanied by precipitation. A light or moderate wind is expected, which may occasionally intensify to fresh or strong. Cloudiness may cause dust to rise at a speed of 10 to 25 km/h, reaching 50 km/h.

Air temperatures in the country may reach 38°C. In Abu Dhabi and Dubai, the mercury column will reach 36°C.

However, in Abu Dhabi and Dubai, the temperature may drop to 28°C and 27°C, respectively, and up to 20°C in mountainous areas.

At night and in the morning on Sunday, high humidity is expected over some coastal and inland territories, with a probability of fog or haze formation. The humidity level in Abu Dhabi and Dubai will be from 25 to 80 percent.

On sea areas, the weather in the Arabian Gulf will be slight or moderate, and in the Gulf of Oman—slight.

On the morning of October 16, fog enveloped the United Arab Emirates, making it difficult for drivers in several areas to read road signs until they were within 100 meters of them.

The police issued warnings, strongly advising drivers to reduce speed and remain vigilant in conditions of reduced visibility. The fog spread across several territories, including Dubai and Ras Al Khaimah, and was not limited to a single emirate.

Red and yellow fog alerts were active across the country until 9 AM, with further decreases in horizontal visibility forecasted. According to the National Center of Meteorology (NCM), areas where such alerts were issued were marked on the map.

Today, the weather in the UAE is expected to be clear or partly cloudy, with a chance of rain by evening and in the south, as convective clouds are set to form, according to the NCM forecast.

In Friday evening and Saturday morning, an increase in humidity is expected in some coastal and inland areas, potentially leading to fog or haze. Winds will be light to moderate but may occasionally intensify up to 45 km/h, which could potentially cause dust lifting and reduced visibility.

The sea in the Arabian Gulf will be small to moderate, and in the Gulf of Oman—small. On Friday, the air temperature in Abu Dhabi, Sharjah, and Dubai will reach 37°C, while the minimum temperature in these three emirates will be 29°C.
