Current Weather Conditions Across the UAE

As evening descends, temperatures across the United Arab Emirates are settling into the late 20s Celsius. In Dubai, the minimum temperature is recorded at 28°C, while Abu Dhabi experiences a slightly cooler 27°C. Sea conditions in both the Arabian Gulf and the Sea of Oman are currently mild, with wave heights generally ranging from one to three feet. This presents an opportune moment for those considering nighttime beach outings in the urban areas.

Weekend Weather Outlook

However, the National Centre of Meteorology (NCM) has issued a forecast indicating a change in sea conditions for the weekend. Beginning Saturday, wind speeds are anticipated to increase significantly. Average wind speeds are expected to range between 10 to 25 kilometers per hour, with gusts potentially reaching up to 40 kilometers per hour, particularly along coastal regions. This increase in wind activity is likely to result in seas becoming rough at times.

Daytime temperatures throughout the weekend are projected to remain consistent, with most inland and coastal areas experiencing figures in the low to mid-40s Celsius. For individuals planning to visit the mountainous regions of the UAE, a relatively cooler climate is expected, with average temperatures hovering around the mid-30s Celsius.
