UAE weather: Rain forecast in several areas with temperatures hitting 40°C

Dubai: Rainfall is anticipated across sections of the United Arab Emirates on Tuesday, as per the National Centre of Meteorology (NCM). The NCM forecasts partly cloudy conditions, with convective clouds forming over northern, eastern, and southern territories, leading to a probability of precipitation. The latest weather bulletin from the NCM indicates fair to partly cloudy skies, with winds ranging from light to moderate, intensifying to fresh to strong at times due to cloud activity, leading to blowing dust.

Wind speeds are expected to vary between 10 to 25 km/h, peaking at 45 km/h in inland regions and 40 km/h in mountainous areas. Inland areas are predicted to experience temperatures between 35°C and 40°C, coastal areas and islands between 33°C and 37°C, and mountainous regions between 26°C and 32°C. Humidity is anticipated to rise overnight and into Wednesday morning in certain coastal and inland areas, with the potential for fog or mist.

The Arabian Gulf may experience slight to moderate wind conditions at times, while the Oman Sea will remain relatively calm. Rainfall is expected to continue, with unsettled weather conditions potentially lasting until Saturday. Further chances of precipitation are possible in various parts of the country on Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday, with winds reaching up to 50 km/h and causing blowing dust.

Humid conditions are forecast overnight throughout the period, with the possibility of mist or fog in some coastal and inland areas, particularly in western regions. The NCM attributes these weather conditions to the extension of a surface low-pressure system alongside a weak upper-air low-pressure system.
