The National Centre of Meteorology forecasts rain, strong winds and rough sea conditions across parts of the UAE tomorrow, with dust, reduced visibility and convective cloud activity likely.
Abu Dhabi: The National Centre of Meteorology (NCM) has issued a weather forecast indicating cloudy conditions with rainfall, strong winds and unstable seas across the United Arab Emirates tomorrow. Residents and visitors are advised to prepare for changing weather patterns that may affect visibility, travel and outdoor activities.
According to the NCM, skies will be partially cloudy to occasionally cloudy, with the formation of convective clouds expected to bring rainfall over the UAE’s islands and extend to parts of the coastal, northern and eastern regions. The rainfall is likely to vary in intensity as weather systems move across the country.
Winds are forecast to be southeasterly to northeasterly, starting off moderate before increasing in strength throughout the day. Wind speeds are expected to range between 15 to 30 kilometres per hour, with gusts potentially reaching up to 50 kilometres per hour in exposed areas. These stronger winds may raise dust and sand, resulting in reduced horizontal visibility, particularly over desert and open land routes.
Marine conditions will also be affected. In the Arabian Gulf, sea states are predicted to be moderate, becoming rough at times due to wind effects and wave action. In the Sea of Oman, waves will generally be light to moderate, though occasional increases in wave height are possible near coastal areas.
The NCM’s forecast highlights the importance of exercising caution during travel, especially for drivers on highways and for small craft operators at sea. Residents are encouraged to allow extra travel time when venturing outdoors and to monitor real‑time updates from official weather channels.
These conditions reflect seasonal weather shifts and underline the value of preparedness as part of daily planning. The NCM will continue to monitor weather developments and issue further updates as conditions evolve.
