UAE might get five days of rain as temperatures reach 49°C

Dubai, the UAE, may experience light rain on Sunday, with temperatures soaring to a scorching 49°C according to the National Centre of Meteorology. Sunday will see partly cloudy to cloudy skies, particularly in northern and eastern regions, where clouds may generate light rainfall. Inland areas will see temperatures between 44°C and 49°C, while coastal areas and islands are forecast to peak between 40°C and 45°C, with mountain areas ranging from 32°C to 38°C.

Overnight conditions will become humid, particularly over some western coastal areas, potentially leading to mist formation. Winds will be light to moderate, ranging from 10km/h to 20km/h, but may increase to 30km/h. Sea conditions will remain calm in both the Arabian Gulf and Oman Sea. As the unsettled weather pattern evolves, chances of convective cloud formation and rainfall will spread east and south on Tuesday, extending across eastern and southern parts of the country during the afternoon.

Humidity may rise overnight and into Wednesday morning, with a chance of mist in some coastal areas. Winds will strengthen, reaching 40km/h and potentially stirring up blowing dust. The sea will remain slight in the Arabian Gulf and slightly to moderately in the Oman Sea. Similar conditions are expected to persist into Thursday, with convective clouds likely to develop over eastern areas in the afternoon and bring additional rainfall chances.

Winds could again reach 40km/h, and the Oman Sea may remain slightly to moderately. Rain remains a possibility throughout the unsettled spell from Sunday through Thursday.
