Dubai: Feeling cooler today, when you step outside? It’s not your imagination – temperatures are sliding down, across the UAE, according to the National Centre of Meteorology (NCM).
The NCM forecasts partly cloudy to cloudy weather today, with a probability of rainfall over the islands and some coastal, northern and western areas, with a decrease in temperatures.
Temperatures in the low-30s
The mercury is in the low-30s across the UAE, with humidity also declining to a peak of 70% in Abu Dhabi, and 65% in Dubai.
Coastal and island regions will see highs between 30°C to 34°C while internal areas will peak at 32°C to 36°C according to the NCM.
Umm Al Quwain and Fujairah will reach a high of 34°C today, while Abu Dhabi, Dubai, Ajman, and Ras Al Khaimah will peak at 33°C. Sharjah will remain the coolest emirate at 32°C.
Rough seas in the west
Avoid the beach today, if you’re in Abu Dhabi or Dubai. The NCM expects the following sea conditions:
Arabian Gulf: The Arabian Gulf will be rough to very rough at times. You can expect waves reaching up to three feet on-shore, and up to nine feet off-shore.
Sea of Oman: On the eastern coast, the Sea of Oman will have slight sea conditions, meaning gentle waves reaching up to two feet on-shore and up to three feet off-shore.
