Dubai: Night-time temperatures will dip down to 9 degrees Celsius tonight with Sharjah recording the lowest and Abu Dhabi slightly higher at 12 degrees Celsius, according to the Dubai met office.
A marine warning has gone out and will be valid until Tuesday morning, advising boats not to venture out into the seas. This is because the winds are blowing rough offshore at 50 km/h or 27 knots, making the seas very choppy. Inland, the winds are mild at 28 km/h or 15 knots.
A high pressure system from Iran is blowing North-Easterly winds across the emirates and driving down the minimum temperatures, according to Dr. S.K. Gupta, duty forecaster.
“It will be fine weather and sunny days ahead,'' he said, as the clouds are dissipating towards the East coast. There will be no rains for the next days. On Monday, Dubai recorded 0.2 mm of rain and a “few spots of rain'' in Sharjah.
“It will be partly cloudy with a chance of frosty conditions over the mountains and some Western areas'', according to the National Centre of Meteorology and Seismology (NCMS) in Abu Dhabi.
Daytime temperatures will range from 21 degrees Celsius in Dubai, to 18 degrees (Sharjah), 19 degrees (Abu Dhabi) and 20 degrees (Ajman). But it will be cool enough for a light sweater or a jacket in the night.
