Pleasant holiday weather with a chance of showers

Dubai: Warm, pleasant weather is expected for the rest of the Eid Al Adha holidays in Dubai, according to a duty forecaster, Dubai Meteorological Office.

Friday and Saturday will be very warm, while by Sunday and Monday a cool wind will develop and there will be a chance of showers.

Residents are heading outdoors with the winter arriving in the UAE, spending time with family and friends in the Emirates’ many parks and green spaces.

However, the rain will clear with cool, breezy and fine weather on Tuesday and on Wednesday – for the UAE’s 38th National Day celebrations.

In Abu Dhabi on Saturday there is a chance of a thunderstorm and scattered showers.

“The first weather system associated with an upper trough in the westerly wind flow is already affecting Saudi Arabia, Kuwait and Iran with rain and cloud affecting those areas.

“The weather will slowly move down the Gulf introducing fresh to strong north-westerly Shamal winds and the chance of some showers in Dubai on Sunday and Monday,” a release from the Office said.

Cooler air will therefore be introduced, signifying the first significant temperature fall of the winter.

On Saturday the temperature in Dubai will be 33C, falling down to a maximum of 26C by Wednesday (National Day)
