The UAE is experiencing scattered rainfall and unsettled weather this week, with showers, cloudy skies and safety alerts in place as conditions shift.
ABU DHABI: Rainfall was reported across various parts of the UAE this week, as unstable weather patterns bring scattered showers, lower temperatures and cloudy skies to much of the country. On December 12, 2025, the National Centre of Meteorology confirmed that rain had affected coastal and inland areas, with further unsettled conditions expected in the coming days.
Weather experts say the current conditions are due to a surface low pressure system moving through the region, which is likely to continue bringing rain, gusty winds and high humidity through December 19. The NCM has advised residents to stay updated as rain is expected to be intermittent and accompanied by dusty winds in some areas.
Authorities have urged drivers to be extra cautious on slippery roads, reduce speed during poor visibility and avoid waterlogged areas. Residents near beaches and valleys are advised to stay alert and follow official safety instructions, especially during peak rain periods or marine warnings.
The extended forecast suggests continued rainfall over northern and eastern parts of the country, with possible thunderstorms in higher elevation areas. Temperatures are also expected to dip slightly below seasonal averages as winds shift direction and increase in strength.
The UAE’s emergency and weather monitoring teams remain on high alert, and the public is advised to follow real-time weather bulletins through official government channels. People are also encouraged to avoid unnecessary travel during stormy conditions and plan outdoor activities around updated forecasts.
