As December goes on, the UAE will experience a week of weather that may change at any time. Weather predictions show that several emirates will see more clouds, scattered rain, and changing winds as a result of low-pressure systems near the ground and changes in the upper atmosphere. This change makes it clear that the warm early winter trend has ended and a more changeable and unstable phase has begun.
People who live there should expect a big change in the weather: it will be sunny and then cloudy with rain, and there will be sudden strong winds and short periods of dust in open areas. As winds start to affect the sea, areas close to the coast may feel the effects more strongly. For more news updates, visit our Gulf Independent News page.
What You Can Expect: Rough Seas, Dust, and Rain
Meteorologists say that the country will have repeated periods of Light rain may fall in some areas and heavier rain in others, based on how the clouds are formed.
Dust and lower visibility: In the desert, stronger winds can pick up dust, which can make the air hazy sometimes.
Wind changes: The wind can change from coming from the southeast to the northeast or the northwest, and it may sometimes speed up when it gets close to clouds.
Rough sea conditions: The Arabian Gulf will likely be moderate to rough when it is windy, which will make the journey by boat dangerous for small boats.
To avoid delays during travels or plans to be outside, people who live in the area should stay up to date on official news. The Ethiopia Volcano Eruption has come out of the blue and caused a massive disruption in travel across various parts of the world

FAQs
1. When will the unstable weather end?
How the pressure systems change over time will determine how long the dangerous conditions last. They will at least last until the middle of December.
2. Will rain fall in every emirate?
Not always. Rainfall may be spread, so some places will get rain and others will stay dry or just cloudy.
3. Can we go to the beach during this time without it being dangerous?
It’s best to be careful. The Arabian Gulf will have rough waves at times, so it’s best to stay away from the water when conditions are at their worst.
4. Will the dust storms be bad?
When the wind picks up, especially in areas that are open or close to the desert, the amount of dust in the air may suddenly go up. People who have breathing problems should be careful.
5. Should people’s trip plans be changed?
It’s not necessary to change plans, but it’s a good idea to check the weather before a long drive or boat trip.
Why This Change in Weather Is Happening
In December, the UAE often goes through unstable weather as winter trends take hold. As the temperature and humidity change and different air masses move in, clouds can get thicker, and the wind can change from strong to weak. When a surface trough lines up with an upper-air system, it can cause a lot of different weather events, like rain, windy dust storms, and rough seas.
For this time of year, this kind of weather is normal. It normally lasts for a few days before the winter weather clears up.
