UAE Anticipates Rainfall as Summer Approaches: Meteorologists Predict Showers in Eastern Mountains

"The extension of the Indian monsoons will impact the country for the most part of this month," Dr. Habib stated, highlighting the influence of external weather patterns on the UAE's climate

As the United Arab Emirates (UAE) gears up for the sweltering summer months, residents may find relief in an unexpected forecast: rainfall.

Weather experts from the National Centre of Meteorology (NCM) predict convective cloud activity will grace the country, particularly blessing the eastern mountainous regions with showers.

While the country experienced sporadic showers in early May, the past weeks have been notably dry, making the upcoming rainfall a welcomed prospect.

“The extension of the Indian monsoons will impact the country for the most part of this month,” Dr. Habib stated, highlighting the influence of external weather patterns on the UAE’s climate.

He explained that while convective clouds may intermittently develop across the nation, their formation and subsequent rainfall depend on many factors, including temperature, humidity, and wind direction.

Emphasizing the regional dynamics, Dr. Habib noted that the initial rainfall might commence in neighboring Oman before gradually extending its embrace to the UAE.

While the impact of the monsoon is not yet fully felt in the Emirates, gradual effects are anticipated.

Concurrently, as temperatures steadily ascend across the UAE, Dr. Habib cautioned about an imminent peak. Last week, the mercury soared to a scorching 49.2°C, with temperatures consistently surpassing the 45°C mark.

This uptick in temperature aligns with the expected climate pattern, signaling a sizzling season ahead.

“The UAE has witnessed a steady rise in temperatures over recent days, and this trend is projected to continue over the ensuing weeks and months,” Dr. Habib remarked, underlining the inevitability of summer’s heat.

Despite the temperature surge, the humidity levels exhibit a marginal decline compared to May, diminishing the likelihood of fog or mist formation, particularly in the latter half of the month.

The impending rainfall, coupled with soaring temperatures, underscores the dynamic nature of the UAE’s climate.

As residents brace themselves for the summer heat, the promise of rainfall brings a glimmer of respite, particularly for those residing in the eastern mountainous regions.

With the NCM’s expert analysis guiding expectations, the UAE populace remains vigilant, preparing for the climatic shifts that lie ahead.

As the nation navigates through the seasonal transition, meteorological insights serve as invaluable tools, offering foresight amidst nature’s unpredictable whims.

In a land where the desert’s vast expanse meets the azure skies, the convergence of weather systems paints a vibrant tapestry of meteorological marvels.

As the UAE embarks on its journey into summer, the rhythmic dance of rainfall and sunshine serves as a testament to the ever-evolving landscape of nature’s embrace.
