Parts of UAE set for rain, fog and 50kph winds but wait for drop in temperatures goes on

The United Arab Emirates is expected to experience a mix of weather conditions over the coming days, including rain, fog, and strong winds. The National Centre of Meteorology (NCM) has issued a forecast for the northern and eastern regions of the country, with wet weather likely to persist until at least Wednesday.

The NCM's online weather map indicates that rainfall is most probable in Ras Al Khaimah and Fujairah on Monday and Tuesday. Humid nights and fog are anticipated for the morning commute over the next week. Wind speeds are projected to reach up to 40 kilometers per hour on Sunday, and could potentially increase to 50 kilometers per hour from Monday to Wednesday. This strong wind could bring dust into the air, reducing visibility.

Northern Emirates have been experiencing unstable weather conditions this month, with reports of heavy rain and hail in some areas. In contrast, Abu Dhabi and Dubai are expected to escape the wet weather. The unseasonably warm autumn temperatures are likely to continue across the Emirates, with daytime temperatures remaining in the mid to high 30s in Abu Dhabi and Dubai over the next five days. In some cases, temperatures could surpass 40°C in Al Ain and remote desert areas of Abu Dhabi.

According to the NCM's latest monthly weather summary, the average daily temperature in the UAE for October is 29.7°C. However, the heat this month has been elevated due to the influence of the El Nino weather phenomenon, which has delayed the typically cooler autumn weather.
