Dubai - As the UAE transitions into autumn in October, residents can anticipate a gradual decline in temperatures and an uptick in rain chances across various regions. The seasonal shift brings rapidly changing weather patterns that can be quite dramatic. While temperatures typically drop more sharply in the latter half of the month, the onset of Al Wasm, a milder season starting mid-October, is marked by cooler weather and higher precipitation chances.
Rain-bearing convective clouds are more prevalent in eastern and mountainous areas, where moist air and the region's topography encourage cloud formation. These clouds might produce showers and gusty winds, leading to dust accumulation and reduced visibility. According to Ibrahim Al Jarwan, Chairman of the Emirates Astronomy Society, winter clouds start appearing from mid-October, and rainfall likelihood increases after the middle of autumn.
The season kicks off with the autumnal equinox, during which the sun is directly over the equator, and day and night durations become nearly equal for a week before nights become longer. As October unfolds, the UAE will experience increasingly unstable weather conditions, with cooler temperatures and a higher likelihood of rain.
