The UAE is preparing for a period of unsettled winter weather, with the National Center of Meteorology (NCM) warning of increased cloud cover, higher overnight humidity, and the possibility of light rainfall in parts of the country over the coming days.
According to the NCM, residents can expect variable skies, with cloud cover gradually building across coastal, inland, and mountainous areas. Temperatures are expected to remain mild during the day, while humidity levels may rise at night, making mornings feel cooler and slightly damp in some regions.
The forecast indicates that light rainfall is possible in certain parts of the UAE, particularly in the northern and mountainous regions, including areas like Jebel Jais and Hatta, where winter precipitation is more likely. While heavy rainfall is not expected, authorities advise motorists and residents to exercise caution, especially in areas prone to water accumulation.
Meteorologists note that this unsettled weather is part of a typical winter pattern in the UAE, caused by shifting air masses and regional pressure changes. Residents may notice cooler nights and occasional breezy conditions as the weather system moves across the country.
The NCM also advises that early-morning fog or mist could form in some low-lying areas, reducing visibility temporarily. Commuters are urged to drive carefully during these conditions and stay updated on real-time weather alerts.
This stretch of winter weather is expected to last for several days before conditions gradually stabilise. While the UAE is generally known for its arid climate, winter months occasionally bring short periods of cloudiness and rain, providing a brief respite from the typical dry conditions.
Residents are encouraged to follow official weather updates from the NCM, especially if planning outdoor activities, travel, or mountain excursions. Preparedness and awareness will help ensure safety during this period of unsettled weather.
