The United Arab Emirates is expected to experience rainfall, fog and a drop in temperatures over the coming days, according to the National Centre of Meteorology (NCM).

The weather authority said convective clouds are likely to develop from Tuesday afternoon, bringing showers to parts of the country, particularly eastern regions. Humid conditions are also expected to increase the likelihood of fog and mist in some coastal and inland areas.

Monday’s weather is forecast to remain largely fair, although clouds may form over eastern areas. Humidity levels are expected to rise overnight and into Tuesday morning, especially across western coastal and inland regions, creating favourable conditions for fog and mist.

On Tuesday, skies are expected to be fair to partly cloudy, with cloud build-up during the afternoon leading to scattered rainfall in some areas. Similar conditions are forecast for Wednesday, with rain-bearing clouds likely to develop once again over eastern parts of the country.

The NCM said temperatures are expected to fall on Thursday, particularly across western areas of the UAE. Fresh north-westerly winds may also lead to blowing dust in exposed locations.

Sea conditions in the Arabian Gulf are forecast to become moderate to rough at times, especially in western waters. Winds are expected to range between 10kph and 25kph, with gusts reaching up to 40kph in some areas.

Residents are advised to monitor official weather updates as conditions develop throughout the week.
