Unstable Weather Forecast for the UAE This Weekend

Unstable-Weather-Forecast-for-the-UAE-This-Weekend

The comprehensive weather forecast, released by the UAE National Centre of Meteorology (NCM), spans Thursday, January 30, to Monday, February 3, 2025. The warning states that locals should expect changing weather, including temperature reductions, wind speeds, and scattered rainfall over several areas. Strong winds in some places can cause blowing dust, therefore impairing visibility. The sea conditions will also be erratic; the Arabian Gulf will have rough waves, and the Oman Sea will have sporadic turbulence.

Considering these dramatic temperature variations, residents and visitors should be careful and keep informed on official weather advice. The forecasted conditions over the next five days are broken out here.

Thursday, January 30: Expected Fog, Cloudy Skies, And Light Rain

The day will start with humid conditions in several internal and coastal regions, which increases the likelihood of morning fog or mist developing. Drivers should be particularly cautious since early hours could drastically lower visibility. Particularly in northern and eastern areas, the sky will be partially covered in clouds, which will get more as the day goes on.

In certain places, light rain is forecast by nighttime, somewhat lowering temperatures. Although the rain is not predicted to be severe, it could cause a slight disturbance to outdoor events.

  • Wind: Light to moderate northwesterly, occasionally fresh, reaching 40 km/h speeds.
  • Sea Conditions: The Oman Sea will show mild to moderate waves, but the Arabian Gulf will be rough.

Friday, January 31: Strong Winds, Temperature Drop, Rain

Friday’s humidity from the previous day may linger until the early morning hours, increasing the possibility of mist or fog development in some regions. The sky will remain cloudy to opaque as the day continues, increasing the likelihood of showers in certain areas.

A dip in temperatures is also anticipated, particularly in northern and mountainous areas, creating a cooler and more pleasant day. The wind will be noticeably stronger than yesterday, which may cause blowing dust and limited sight in certain open spaces.

  • Wind: Light to moderate northwesterly to southwesterly, becoming fresh to strong at times, reaching 45km/h.
  • Sea Conditions: The Oman Sea will have mild to moderate waves, perhaps becoming rough with increasing cloud cover; the Arabian Gulf will be rough.

Saturday, February 1: Misty Morning with Maybe Light Rain

Like other days, Saturday will begin with mist forming in several interior and coastal regions. The weather will remain partly cloudy, with light rain likely in Eastern and Northern areas. Though homeowners should be ready for minor disturbances, the projected rainfall is very low.

Though strong enough to create moderate dust movement in open areas, the wind intensity will be slightly less than on Friday.

  • Wind: Light to moderate northeasterly to northwesterly, at 35 km/h.
  • Sea Conditions: Whereas the Oman Sea will be relatively calm with minor waves forecast, the Arabian Gulf will be moderate to slight.

Sunday, February 2: Unpredictable Conditions with Rain and Potential Freezing Over Mountains

Sunday will bring more erratic weather, with Northern, Eastern, and Coastal areas predicted to get different degrees of precipitation. People living in these places should prepare for strong showers in some places that can cause minor flooding in low-lying areas.

One of the most noticeable differences will be the low temperatures allowing the possibility of freezing water over mountain areas in the morning. Higher altitude residents and visitors should use care.

  • Wind: Light to moderate northwesterly, fresh at times, generating blowing dust in exposed places at 40 km/h speed.
  • Sea Conditions: While the Oman Sea occasionally shows moderate to harsh conditions, the Arabian Gulf will be moderate to rough.

Monday, February 3: Gradual Weather Stabilization under Cloudy Skies

By Monday, the erratic weather will start to calm down. Low clouds over coastal and internal areas will greet the day, but no notable precipitation is predicted.

The weather will be balanced, although mild northwesterly breezes will linger all day, somewhat blustering outdoor activities. Sea conditions will remain rough in the Arabian Gulf and mild to moderate in the Oman Sea.

  • Wind: Light to moderate northwesterly, fresh at times with 40 km/h reach.
  • Sea Conditions: The Oman Sea will show moderate to minor waves while the Arabian Gulf will remain choppy.

Prevention Strategies for UAE Residents

Authorities advise UAE citizens to keep informed about the most recent weather updates from the National Centre of Meteorology as the country prepares for changing temperatures over the next several days.

Key advice includes: drivers should use headlights correctly and slow down during foggy conditions and strong winds; fishermen and maritime workers should review sea advisories before entering rough seas; people living in mountainous areas should be ready for colder temperatures and maybe freezing conditions. Particularly about rainfall and blowing dust, outdoor enthusiasts should be aware of abrupt fluctuations in the temperature.

Residents should pay attention to any emergency alerts sent by the government and monitor official weather updates. The expected combination of rain, wind, and temperature variations calls for preparedness and awareness to help guarantee convenience and safety for all.
