Temperature drop and dusty conditions expected in UAE tomorrow

The United Arab Emirates has experienced a series of summer downpours, with eastern areas being particularly susceptible to dark clouds and rainy weather. Although the rain brings relief from the desert heat for residents, authorities strongly urge caution over the next few days.

Weather Forecasts and Warnings

The National Center of Meteorology (NCM) forecasts light to moderate precipitation, which may intensify on June 24th and 25th. Stronger downpours are expected in the Al Ain region, although intensity may vary throughout the day.

Residents should be prepared for strong gusts of wind capable of lifting dust and sand. The overall weather conditions may lead to reduced visibility and hazardous driving conditions. NCM has called on drivers to exercise heightened vigilance on the roads over the next two days and strictly adhere to safety instructions and speed limits.

Precautions for the Public

UAE authorities frequently adjust speed limits during unstable weather or periods of reduced visibility caused by fog or rain. These changes are displayed on electronic road signs and must be observed to ensure safety. Furthermore, the public has been advised to avoid wadis and valley trails, as these areas can flood during heavy rains, creating dangerous conditions.

Seasonal Characteristics and Temperature

Khaleej Times previously reported that rain clouds are expected over parts of the UAE until Friday as the country enters a season known locally as 'Rawadieh'. This season increases the likelihood of convective cloudiness, scattered precipitation, and a moderate drop in temperature, which is a relief before the start of the hottest weeks of the year. Temperatures may occasionally exceed 50°C in the future, but such extreme conditions should not last long.
