Dubai: Low-hanging clouds hovered over Meydan Racecourse on Thursday morning, casting a moody winter light across the iconic track as cooler weather continued to grip parts of the UAE.
The overcast conditions were part of a broader spell of unstable winter weather affecting several regions, with cloud cover contributing to lower temperatures and reduced sunlight during the early hours. Residents reported a noticeable chill in the air compared to recent weeks, particularly in open and low-lying areas.
According to weather officials, cloud formations such as those seen over Meydan are common during transitional winter systems, especially when moisture levels increase and cooler air moves across the country. While no immediate rainfall was reported at the racetrack, similar cloud cover elsewhere has been associated with intermittent showers and shifting conditions.
Authorities have advised residents to stay updated on official weather forecasts, as conditions may change throughout the day. Motorists were also urged to remain alert during early morning hours, when low clouds and mist can reduce visibility.
The subdued winter scene at Meydan offered a striking contrast to Dubai’s usual bright mornings, reflecting the seasonal shift now settling across the region.
