UAE: Unstable weather with chances of rains expected over coming days

The UAE will experience unstable weather with chances of rains over the coming days, according to forecasters.

In its latest weather report issued on Sunday morning, the National Center of Meteorology (NCM) said from January 2 to January 6, the country will be affected by a state of atmospheric instability as the upper low pressure extending from the West over the country deepens and approaches, coinciding with the extension of a surface low pressure from the South and the continued flow of clouds from the Red Sea towards the country from time to time.

The depression is expected to move towards the East on Wednesday and Thursday to ease the situation.

According to the NCM, on Sunday the weather will be partly cloudy to cloudy at times, accompanied with some convective clouds, associated with rainfall of different intensities, especially over the northern and eastern areas, some coastal areas, and the western islands.

On Monday and Tuesday, the weather will be cloudy over most areas of the country, interspersed with convective clouds, associated with rain of different intensities at time to time over scattered areas, with lightning and thunder at times, and hail falling over some areas.

“Wednesday and Thursday, the clouds will decrease in general, and the weather will be partly cloudy to cloudy at times, with a chance of light to moderate rain over some coastal and northern areas, with a significant drop in temperatures,” said the NCM report.

The winds will be moderate to fresh and strong at times, especially with convective clouds. The sea will be rough to very rough at times in the Arabian Gulf and moderate to rough at times in the Oman Sea, especially with convective clouds.”
