The UAE’s National Centre of Meteorology (NCM) has issued a weather indicating that partly cloudy to cloudy skies are expected across the country. The forecast is for the period from Wednesday, February 28, to Friday, March 1.

Light to moderate rainfall in general and heavy at times is expected in the Northern, Eastern, and Southern regions of the country.

The weather report shows that the UAE would be affected by a surface low-pressure system from the Southwest and an extension of an upper-air low-pressure system, accompanied by a western Jetstream with different amounts of clouds flowing from the West at intervals.

Overnight and into Wednesday morning, humidity levels are likely to increase in some inland and coastal areas, leading to a possibility of mist formation, the NCM said in its latest weather report.

The metrological department said the UAE’s Western regions will be affected by fresh to strong at times North-westerly winds. From Thursday noon time, temperatures will decrease, and the amount of clouds will gradually decrease by Thursday night.
