The UAE is expected to experience unsettled weather on Thursday, with heavy rain forecast in some parts of the country, alongside strong winds and blowing dust. According to the National Centre of Meteorology (NCM), skies will be partly cloudy to cloudy, with rain-bearing clouds developing over scattered areas. Some locations could experience particularly heavy rainfall.
Northwesterly winds are expected to reach speeds of up to 55km/h in coastal areas and islands, potentially reducing visibility due to blowing dust. Temperatures are also set to drop further, with maximums of 27°C to 31°C along the coast and 30°C to 34°C inland. In mountainous areas, temperatures could fall as low as 14°C overnight.
Conditions are expected to gradually improve from Friday, although strong winds and rough seas will continue over the weekend and into Monday. Winds could reach 45km/h on Friday and 40km/h over the following days, with rough conditions forecast in the Arabian Gulf.
