Friday is expected to be generally clear to partly cloudy, with light to moderate winds.
Dubai: The UAE is forecast to experience mostly fair weather on Friday, with mild winter warmth prevailing across much of the country, ahead of a significant temperature drop expected early next week, the National Center of Meteorology reported.
Friday is expected to be generally clear to partly cloudy at times, with light to moderate southeasterly to northeasterly winds blowing at 10–20 km/h, occasionally reaching up to 30 km/h.
Humidity levels are likely to increase overnight and into Saturday morning, particularly along coastal areas, where early-morning mist may form. Seas in both the Arabian Gulf and the Oman Sea are expected to remain slight.
Temperature Forecast
- Daytime highs: 33–34 °C in coastal and internal areas, around 23 °C in mountainous regions
- Overnight lows: 8–20 °C, coldest inland and in higher terrain
Saturday: Weather is expected to follow a similar pattern, with fair to partly cloudy skies, light to moderate winds, and humid nights. Early-morning coastal mist may continue into Sunday.
Sunday: Winds Shift, Seas Turn Rough
By Sunday, a shift in wind direction will bring changing conditions. Southeasterly winds are expected to turn northwesterly, gradually strengthening through the evening and reaching up to 45 km/h offshore. Daytime skies will remain mostly fair, but the Arabian Gulf will experience rougher seas by nightfall, while the Oman Sea will become moderate to rough later in the day.
Monday: Cooler, Dusty Conditions
A more pronounced change is expected on Monday, as northwesterly winds bring a significant temperature drop across the Emirates. Conditions will be fair to partly cloudy, with dusty conditions in exposed areas and possible blowing sand.
- Wind speeds: 10–25 km/h, gusting up to 40 km/h
- Sea conditions: Very rough to rough in the Arabian Gulf, rough in the Oman Sea, gradually easing later
Tuesday: Temperatures Rebound, Humidity Returns
By Tuesday, temperatures are forecast to rise again, particularly in northern regions. Skies will remain fair to partly cloudy, while overnight humidity may cause fog or mist in coastal and internal areas. Winds will ease slightly but may freshen at times, with gusts up to 40 km/h, potentially raising dust in open areas.
