This week, the UAE is going to have some unstable weather. The National Centre of Meteorology (NCM) has warned that there will be cloudy conditions, rain in some areas, and a noticeable drop in temperatures in a number of regions. As weather patterns change across the country, bringing different conditions to the coast, the north, and the east, residents have been told to stay up to date with government forecasts.
It will gradually become more overcast, and some places will get light to moderate rain, especially late in the evening and early in the morning. The weather pattern will also likely cause some strong winds from time to time, which will blow dust around and make it harder to see in areas that are not sheltered.

What to Expect: Strong Winds, Cooler Days, and Rainfall
The NCM says that the clouds bringing rain are being pushed by a mix of humid air masses and disturbances at high levels. Showers might go through coastal areas like Dubai, Sharjah, and Abu Dhabi, but northern and eastern areas, like Ras Al Khaimah, Fujairah, and some parts of Al Ain, will probably get more rain.
People will be happy about the change after the last few weeks of warm weather, as temperatures are predicted to drop a little this week, making the afternoons cooler and the nights breezier. But the wind may sometimes get faster, which will make the waves bigger and impact activities that are far away. Authorities have told people who go to the beach and own small boats to be careful.
Precautionary Warnings Are Issued by the Authorities
As a safety measure, local governments and police departments across the Emirates have released guidelines telling people to follow safety measures. Drivers should be careful on roads that are slick, and hikers should stay out of wadis, which are places where flash floods can happen during heavy rain.
Parents should keep an eye out for information on school transport because officials watch how the weather changes during the day. It is also a good idea to make sure that scaffolding and tools on construction sites are properly built so that no one gets hurt.
A Week of Varied Weather to Come
The NCM says that weather trends can change quickly. They expect the rain to bring short-term relief from the heat. For most of the week, there will be a lot of cloudy skies, cooler winds, and rains that come and go. This means that people who live in the area should stay informed and be careful when they are outside.
