The National Centre of Meteorology expects possible rain in coastal, northern and western areas on Tuesday, with gusts up to 45km/h and rough seas. Heavier downpours are possible on Wednesday and Thursday
DUBAI: The National Centre of Meteorology (NCM) has forecast rain, strong winds and rough seas across several parts of the UAE from Tuesday, November 10. Clouds are likely to cover coastal, northern and western areas as a low-pressure system influences the region and gradually brings temperatures down.
Heavy rain possible on Wednesday and Thursday
Weather conditions could worsen on November 11 and 12 as convective clouds bring intermittent rainfall across several areas. Some locations may experience heavy showers and thunderstorms. The northern emirates, particularly Ras Al Khaimah, could receive heavier rainfall, while Dubai, Abu Dhabi and Sharjah may experience light to moderate showers.
Meteorologists expect unsettled weather to continue until Thursday afternoon before conditions gradually improve.
Strong winds and rough seas expected
Northwesterly winds could reach 45 km/h on Tuesday, with speeds increasing to 50 km/h on Wednesday and Thursday. Strong winds may stir up dust, reduce visibility on roads and disrupt outdoor activities. Sea conditions are also likely to worsen. The Arabian Gulf could experience rough to very rough seas, while the Oman Sea may witness moderate to rough conditions.
Temperatures set to drop
The changing weather pattern will bring cooler conditions across the UAE. Temperatures could drop by approximately 4°C to 6°C over the coming days, offering relief from the warmer weather experienced earlier in November.
Impact to Expect
Residents should exercise caution during rainfall as wet roads and reduced visibility could make driving difficult. Strong winds and rough seas may also disrupt marine activities, particularly along coastal areas. The NCM continues to monitor weather developments and advises residents to follow official forecasts and safety advisories for the latest updates.
