The United Arab Emirates (UAE) residents can expect cooler temperatures in the coming days, however, the weather in the Emirates is expected to remain unpredictable.
Khaleej Times quoting UAE’s weather office said the temperatures in Dubai will likely decrease by 2 to 4°C until Friday, making it relatively cold.
The mercury is expected to hover around 25°C, with evening temperatures dropping to 17°C. Additionally, there is a possibility of light rain in some areas of the Emirates, while heavy showers are forecasted over Ras Al Khaimah.
Speaking with Khaleej Times on Wednesday, Dr Ahmed Habib from the National Centre of Meteorology (NCM) said, "Thursday will see medium to low cloud cover over both land and sea. Anticipate some rainfall as the pressure system progresses, moving steadily towards the coastal area between Abu Dhabi and Dubai. This will be due to a swift passage of a westward-moving low-pressure system over the UAE. Starting today (Thursday) from late morning onwards, this pressure system will quickly traverse the region."
He also explained it would be humid over internal and northern areas, with the day being fair to partly cloudy and cloudy at times over the islands and some coastal and northern areas with a chance of rainfall.
"The cloud cover is expected to gather predominantly over the Ras Al Khaimah region, increasing the likelihood of rainfall there, particularly in the northern areas of the UAE. Subsequently, it will slowly shift eastward, affecting specific areas in Fujairah.
"By Friday morning, it is anticipated to exit the country, bringing along light morning rain as it departs. The sea will be rough to very rough in the Arabian Gulf tomorrow," he added.
"Typically, January is the coldest month of the year in the UAE, with February also recording temperatures less than December," he added.
