UAE weather: Cloudy skies with rains expected in some areas on Wednesday

If weather forecasts are to be believed, it appears that the worst is behind us! Following a record-breaking rainfall in the UAE from late Monday until Tuesday night, residents can finally breathe a sigh of relief on Wednesday, April 17.

Although the day will remain cloudy with rainfall in some areas, the intensity is expected to be significantly less. So, residents can expect partly cloudy skies across the region, with cloud cover increasing and rainfall anticipated over coastal, northern, and eastern areas.

UAE's National Centre of Meteorology said that from Wednesday morning to afternoon, convective clouds will develop over coastal areas, leading to rainfall. These clouds will then concentrate over Eastern and Northern regions, with a gradual decrease in cloud cover expected by Wednesday noon.

As per the below map provided by Windy, thunderstorms have now moved away from the country.

Humidity levels will rise during the night and into Thursday morning, particularly in internal and coastal areas. Winds will generally be light to moderate, occasionally freshening and leading to blowing dust in some areas. The sea conditions are forecasted to range from moderate to slight by evening in the Arabian Gulf and the Oman Sea.
