The United Arab Emirates (UAE) is set to experience a range of weather patterns from May 9th to May 13th, 2024, as predicted by the National Center of Meteorology (NCM). Residents and travelers are advised to be prepared for fluctuating temperatures and atmospheric changes during this period.
Starting on Thursday, May 9th, the UAE will see fair to partly cloudy skies with a possibility of convective cloud formations, especially in western and southern areas, leading to a chance of rainfall. Temperatures are expected to decrease, particularly in western regions. However, moderate to rough seas in the Arabian Gulf and slight to moderate seas in the Oman Sea may pose challenges for marine activities.
Moving on to Friday, May 10th, the weather is expected to remain fair to partly cloudy with the addition of dusty periods and a slight decrease in temperatures. Moderate northwesterly winds may intensify, causing blowing dust and sand, especially over the sea. Sea conditions are forecasted to be very rough to rough in the Arabian Gulf and rough in the Oman Sea in the morning, gradually becoming moderate to slight.
On Saturday, May 11th, a shift towards more humid conditions is anticipated, with a chance of fog or mist formation in certain internal and coastal areas, especially to the north and east in the morning. Dusty conditions are expected during the day, along with a gradual increase in temperature and light to moderate northwesterly to northeasterly winds.
Sunday, May 12th, will see the persistence of humidity, potentially leading to fog or mist formation, particularly in western coastal areas in the morning. Fair to partly cloudy skies are expected, accompanied by light to moderate southeasterly to northeasterly winds. Despite the atmospheric changes, sea conditions are expected to remain slight in both the Arabian Gulf and the Oman Sea.
As the week progresses, Monday, May 13th, is expected to bring humidity along the coasts, with fair to partly cloudy skies and cloud formations to the east. Another increase in temperatures is on the horizon, accompanied by light to moderate southeasterly to northeasterly winds. Sea conditions are likely to remain slight in both the Arabian Gulf and the Oman Sea.
Throughout this period, residents and travelers in the UAE are advised to stay updated with the latest forecasts provided by the NCM and exercise caution, especially when engaging in outdoor activities or marine travel. Stay informed and prepared for the varied weather patterns expected across the UAE in the coming days.
