  "account": "Rainfall is anticipated in Abu Dhabi and Dubai this week, accompanied by gusty winds and dust that will blanket the nation. The National Centre of Meteorology (NCM) announced light precipitation will occur in both emirates on Wednesday and Thursday, according to their most recent five-day weather forecast. Additional wet weather is anticipated for Ras Al Khaimah, Sharjah, and Fujairah starting on Tuesday. Winds may reach speeds of up to 45kph in certain regions, lifting dust into the atmosphere and reducing visibility. This unsettled weather pattern is expected to bring a decrease in temperatures, providing relief to residents after a period of intense summer heat that has persisted into autumn. The NCM's online weather map predicts that daytime temperatures in Dubai will gradually decline throughout the week, falling from a high of 34°C on Monday to 29°C on Friday. In Abu Dhabi, temperatures are expected to reach a peak of 35°C on Monday before dropping to 32°C by Friday. The Northern Emirates have experienced unsettled weather in recent weeks, with reports of heavy rain, fog, and hail in certain areas. November typically brings cooler temperatures to the UAE as it approaches its anticipated winter season. The average temperature for November, combining both daytime and nighttime forecasts, is 24.8°C, as per the NCM's latest monthly climate report. Although more rainy days may be forthcoming, November is usually much drier than the period from December to April. Official NCM data, spanning from 2003 to 2022, indicate that the UAE receives an average of 2.5mm of rain in November. In comparison, the country can expect approximately 11.3mm of rainfall in December, with over 10mm commonly falling in January. Residents are encouraged to consult daily weather forecasts for wet days and to make the most of the predominantly dry weather during the month.",
