UAE braces for unsettled weather after warm weekend

Dubai: The National Centre of Meteorology (NCM) has forecast a spell of relatively unsettled weather across the UAE from Saturday, April 18, to Wednesday, April 22.

Conditions are expected to remain fair to partly cloudy at the start of the period, with a noticeable rise in temperatures over the weekend.

Winds will be light to moderate, occasionally fresh, while seas remain slight in both the Arabian Gulf and the Sea of Oman.

Cloud cover is likely to increase gradually from Monday night, especially over coastal areas and islands, signalling a shift in weather patterns.

By Tuesday and Wednesday, conditions are expected to turn partly cloudy to cloudy, with blowing dust and a chance of rainfall in several areas, particularly in western and eastern regions.

Temperatures are set to drop during this period, accompanied by fresh winds reaching up to 40 km/h. Sea conditions in the Arabian Gulf may become rough at times, while the Sea of Oman is expected to remain relatively calm.
