The UAE’s National Centre of Meteorology (NCM) has issued a weather forecast that predicts fair to partly cloudy skies and potential rainfall across the country from Wednesday to Friday.

The light to moderate rainfall and, at times, heavy is associated with convective cloud formation in eastward and northward areas by afternoon.

The NCM said the weather in the UAE is expected to get humid by night and Thursday morning, with a probability of fog or mist formation over some coastal and internal areas, especially towards westward regions.

Meanwhile, light to moderate southeasterly winds may become northeasterly and northwesterly, with fresh to strong winds at times, especially with clouds, which could cause blowing dust and sand, reducing horizontal visibility in certain areas.

Similarly, temperatures are expected to drop to a low of 19°C in mountainous parts of the country and reach a high of 41°C in coastal and internal areas.

NCM expects humidity levels to reach a high of 90 per cent in coastal areas and a low of 15 per cent in mountainous parts of the country.
