Rain showers are anticipated to sweep through Abu Dhabi and Dubai this week, accompanied by strong winds and swirling dust. The National Centre of Meteorology (NCM) forecasts light precipitation in both emirates on Wednesday and Thursday, with the possibility of heavier downpours on Tuesday. Southern regions, including Ras Al Khaimah, Sharjah, and Fujairah, are also expected to experience wet weather conditions by Tuesday.
Consequently, winds may gust up to 45 kilometers per hour in certain locales, lifting dust into the atmosphere and reducing visibility.
As the unsettled weather persists, temperatures are projected to decline, providing a welcome relief to inhabitants after an extended period of scorching heat. According to the NCM's online weather map, daytime temperatures in Dubai will gradually decrease from a high of 34°C on Monday to 29°C on Friday. In Abu Dhabi, the mercury is expected to reach a peak of 35°C on Monday, subsequently dropping to 32°C by Friday.
The Northern Emirates have encountered volatile weather conditions in recent weeks, with reports of heavy rain, fog, and hail in certain areas. November, traditionally associated with cooler temperatures and occasional rainfall, marks the UAE's approach to its anticipated winter season. The NCM's latest monthly climate report indicates that the average temperature for November, encompassing both daytime and evening forecasts, is 24.8°C.
While the prospect of more rainy days looms, November is generally much drier compared to the period from December to April. Official NCM data, spanning from 2003 to 2022, reveal that the UAE receives an average of approximately 2.5mm of rainfall in November. In contrast, the country can anticipate about 11.3mm of precipitation during December, with more than 10mm typically accumulating in January.
Residents are encouraged to monitor daily weather forecasts for impending wet days, while capitalizing on the predominantly dry climate during this month.
