As residents prepare for the day, it’s essential to note that the expected weather conditions could bring relief from the usual warmth.

The NCM indicates that the temperature drop will be noticeable, adding an extra layer of chill to the air.

Abu Dhabi may experience a low of 12 degrees Celsius, while Dubai will likely see temperatures dipping to 18 degrees Celsius in certain areas.

For those venturing out into the sea, caution is advised. Waves in the Arabian Gulf are expected to be turbulent and rough at times.

Mariners and beachgoers should adhere to safety guidelines, recognizing the potential hazards associated with these conditions.

In contrast, the Sea of Oman is anticipated to have comparatively lighter to moderate waves, offering a more serene maritime experience.

The prospect of rain in the coastal, northern, and eastern regions brings a sense of anticipation, especially in a region where precipitation is rare.

Residents and visitors alike may welcome the change in weather as the clouds gather overhead, potentially transforming the landscape.

As the winds sweep across the country, residents are advised to take precautions, especially those with respiratory sensitivities, as the moderate-speed winds may stir up dust and dirt.

It’s a reasonable time to secure loose items outdoors and be mindful of the potential impact on visibility.

The unpredictability of weather patterns adds an element of excitement to the day, prompting individuals to adapt their plans and embrace the novel conditions.

Whether it’s enjoying the cooler temperatures, watching the clouds gather, or simply appreciating the rarity of rain, today’s weather in the UAE invites everyone to experience a temporary departure from the norm.

As the day unfolds, keep an eye on the sky, stay informed about updates from the NCM, and be prepared for the atmospheric changes that promise a distinctive and refreshing break from the usual weather patterns in the Emirates.
