Residents across the UAE can expect foggy conditions to continue into Wednesday morning, February 25, according to the National Centre of Meteorology (NCM).

The NCM said fair to partly cloudy skies will prevail at times, but early hours are likely to see fog or mist forming over internal areas. Humidity levels are expected to increase overnight and into Thursday morning, raising the risk of reduced visibility once again.

Morning fog risk

The fog is expected during late-night and early-morning hours, particularly in inland regions, potentially affecting visibility for commuters. Motorists are advised to exercise caution and monitor official weather alerts before heading out.

Rising temperatures

Temperatures are gradually climbing across the country:

  • Abu Dhabi: High of 31°C, low of 17°C
  • Sharjah: High of 31°C, low of 11°C
  • Dubai: High of 32°C, low of 19°C

Despite the warmer daytime conditions, humidity will contribute to hazy and misty conditions during early hours.

Winds and Sea Conditions

Light to moderate winds will blow from southeasterly to northwesterly directions, with speeds ranging between 10 km/h and 25 km/h. At times, winds may strengthen to reach up to 40 km/h.

Sea conditions in the Arabian Gulf will be slight to moderate, becoming gradually rough by night, while the Oman Sea will remain slight.

Authorities continue to advise residents to stay updated with official forecasts, especially during early morning hours when fog formation is most likely.

UAE weather alert: Rain, thunder and lightning set to return, residents should prepare for another stormy week

Published

Spread the love

Just when things seemed to calm down, the weather in the UAE may be gearing up for another dramatic shift.

Forecasters are warning that rain could make a comeback this week, following last month’s intense mix of thunderstorms, lightning, and strong winds that swept across the country.

Stormy reminder from last month

Residents in Dubai, Abu Dhabi, and beyond still remember the early hours of March 27, when thunder and flashes of lightning lit up the skies.

One viral moment stood out, a lightning strike near the iconic Burj Khalifa, captured on video and widely shared online.

Rain could return this week

According to the National Centre of Meteorology (NCM), scattered showers are expected on:

  • Monday, April 6
  • Thursday, April 9
  • Friday, April 10

Looking ahead, even more rain could be on the way. Weather app are predicting showers over the weekend (April 11–12), especially in Dubai and Abu Dhabi.

Why this unpredictable weather

The weather in the UAE can change quickly. Rain systems can build or fade within hours, meaning one area could see heavy showers while another stays completely dry. Sudden gusts of wind can also add to the drama.

While it may not be a full-blown storm, it’s a good idea to stay prepared. Keep an eye on forecasts, especially if you’re planning travel or outdoor activities.

UAE braces for foggy mornings and possible rains this weekend as weather patterns shift

Published

Residents across the UAE can expect a mix of calm skies, foggy mornings, and potential rainfall over the coming days, as shifting weather systems begin to influence the region.

According to the National Centre of Meteorology (NCM), an interaction between a surface low-pressure system from the east, a high-pressure ridge from the west, and an upper-air low is setting the stage for variable conditions.

Today’s weather will remain largely fair to partly cloudy, offering a relatively pleasant break with slightly cooler temperatures. However, as night falls, humidity levels are expected to rise, increasing the likelihood of fog or mist, particularly in inland areas by early Friday morning.

Moving into the weekend, conditions will stay partly cloudy, but mornings may begin with reduced visibility due to persistent fog and mist. Temperatures are also forecast to climb gradually, signalling a return to warmer conditions. By Saturday and Sunday, cloud cover is expected to increase, bringing a chance of light rainfall, especially in coastal and northern regions.

The most noticeable shift is expected on Monday, when light to moderate rain could extend across coastal, northern, and eastern parts of the country. Winds are also likely to pick up, occasionally becoming fresh and causing blowing dust, while sea conditions may turn moderate to rough at times.

For residents, this means staying cautious during early morning commutes due to fog, preparing for occasional dusty conditions, and keeping an eye on the skies as the chances of rain increase.

As the UAE transitions through these changing conditions, the coming days promise a dynamic mix of weather, offering everything from misty mornings to potential showers.

Dubai’s Roads and Transport Authority has announced the resumption of several major bus routes following temporary suspensions caused by heavy rainfall and unstable weather conditions across the UAE.

The authority confirmed that services are now operating again, allowing passengers to travel safely and more smoothly, although minor delays may still occur as operations gradually return to full capacity.

Several key routes have resumed, including:

  • E315 between Etisalat Bus Station and Muwaileh (Sharjah)
  • E101 to Abu Dhabi, now operating from Al Ghubaiba Bus Station instead of Ibn Battuta Bus Station due to earlier waterlogging
  • E411 service to Ajman from Etisalat Bus Station
  • Route 201 from Al Ghubaiba Bus Station to Al Ain

The service restoration comes after disruptions triggered by adverse weather, which led to the temporary suspension of multiple bus routes to ensure passenger safety.

RTA said all necessary safety and operational measures are in place to support a smooth return to normal services.

Advice for commuters

Passengers are encouraged to:

  • Allow extra travel time
  • Check updates through official RTA channels
  • Follow safety guidelines while commuting

Authorities added that services will continue to stabilise over the coming days as conditions improve.
