The latest weather forecast in the UAE is that residents in the Emirates should be ready to have a week of changing weather conditions, with a combination of high temperatures and heavy rains and winds. The National Centre of Meteorology (NCM) has reported that the onset of the spring season will introduce random atmospheric changes beginning April this year.
Analyzing the UAE weather forecast: Rising temperatures early in the week
A warming-up is being felt in the country. As the number of days in the daylight increases, the forecasters expect an increase in temperatures that will reach a peak of 32 o C to 37 o C in several major cities such as Dubai and Abu Dhabi. The heatwave is caused by the northward movement of the sun towards the Tropic of Cancer which is the beginning of the transitional spring season.
But this pleasant, warm climate will not last long. The monthly outlook of the NCM observes that as the Siberian high-pressure system continues to weaken, the low-pressure systems extensions are coming towards the west, which results in the rapid changes of atmospheres.
Bracing for rain and strong winds
On Sunday and Monday, the calm heat will be replaced by very turbulent conditions. People are supposed to prepare in case of rain and strong winds especially in coastal, northern, and eastern areas. The emirates will experience moderate to fresh northwesterly gusts that will reach up to 50 km/h.
Such winds will most probably cause blowing dust and sand, which will seriously hamper the horizontal visibility of major highways. Drivers are encouraged to be very careful in the morning and evening trips to work.
Coastal impact: What to expect beyond the UAE weather forecast
The stormy climate will not be limited to the mainland. The Arabian Gulf has been given marine warnings. When the low-pressure system becomes more profound, the conditions at sea will change to slight to rough and sometimes very rough at the time of the peak wind hours. Fishermen and beachgoers are highly encouraged to stay off the sea until mid-week when weather becomes stable.
