The United Arab Emirates is gearing up for several days of warm, stable, and clear weather, according to the National Centre of Meteorology (NCM). From Sunday through Wednesday, residents will notice a gradual increase in temperatures, occasional morning fog, especially over eastern coastal areas, and light to moderate winds across the country.
Driven by a mix of pressure systems, the current weather pattern brings typical late spring conditions to the Emirates. The Arabian Gulf and Sea of Oman will remain calm, while wind activity may stir some dust in open areas. The NCM’s forecast provides a clear picture of the weather UAE residents can expect over the next few days.
Sunday Weather Forecast: Clear Skies and Light Morning Fog
Sunday’s weather across the UAE is expected to be generally clear, offering a bright and dry start to the week. However, humidity levels are forecast to rise during the night and early morning, particularly in inland and coastal areas, which could lead to the formation of light fog.
This early-morning fog is a result of residual surface moisture and overnight cooling, which often causes condensation near ground level. Although fog is not expected to be dense, visibility may be slightly reduced in affected regions, especially during early commutes.
Winds will be southwesterly to northwesterly, blowing at 10 to 25 km/h, with some gusts potentially reaching 35 km/h. These light to moderate winds will contribute to a comfortable breeze during daytime hours.
Sea conditions are forecast to be light in both the Arabian Gulf and the Sea of Oman, making it a suitable day for marine activities such as sailing, boating, and fishing.
Temperature-wise, maximum highs are projected to range between 30°C and 43°C, while minimum temperatures will fall between 17°C and 25°C, especially in the interior and desert regions. The temperature differential between day and night provides a noticeable shift in comfort levels.
Monday Weather: Rising Temperatures and Eastern Coast Clouds
On Monday, the UAE will experience a rise in temperatures, with clear skies and low clouds forming over the eastern coastline in the early morning. These clouds will mostly dissipate by midday as sunlight intensifies.
The weather changes are being influenced by a surface low-pressure system from the east, meeting a high-pressure zone from the west, combined with an upper-air high-pressure extension. These atmospheric factors create a stable, dry, and warm environment, typical for this time of year.
Winds will shift direction between southeasterly, northeasterly, and northwesterly, maintaining speeds of 10 to 25 km/h, with occasional gusts up to 35 km/h. The wind variability is common during transitional periods between pressure systems.
As with Sunday, sea conditions will remain light and calm, ensuring uninterrupted activities for the marine sector and recreational users across the Arabian Gulf and Sea of Oman.
Maximum daytime temperatures will remain elevated, particularly in southern and interior desert zones, while coastal areas may stay relatively milder due to sea breezes. Evening temperatures will cool to between 17°C and 25°C, offering some overnight relief.
Tuesday Weather: Hot and Sunny With Some Daytime Dust
Tuesday will maintain generally clear skies across the UAE, continuing the stable weather trend. Low clouds may appear briefly over the eastern coast early in the morning, similar to Monday’s pattern, but will quickly clear.
Southwesterly to northwesterly winds will be light to moderate, with peak gusts reaching 35 km/h. During the daytime, these winds may stir up dust in open desert areas or regions undergoing construction. While visibility levels will remain acceptable for most regions, motorists and sensitive groups should stay cautious.
The NCM warns of light dust, but no major sandstorms or weather disruptions are expected.
Temperatures will continue to climb, especially in the interior regions. Daytime highs will range between 30°C and 43°C, and the minimum lows are expected between 17°C and 25°C, making it essential to stay hydrated and avoid prolonged exposure to midday sun.
Once again, maritime conditions will stay calm, making Tuesday another ideal day for fishing, beach activities, or port operations.
Wednesday Weather Forecast: Clear Skies and Slightly Stronger Evening Winds
By Wednesday, weather conditions across the UAE will remain clear, dry, and warm. Skies across all Emirates are expected to be mostly cloud-free, allowing for full-day sunlight exposure. The NCM reports that no fog or cloud disturbances are expected on this day, even along the eastern coastline.
During the evening hours, wind speeds are expected to slightly increase, particularly over offshore areas such as the Arabian Gulf and the Sea of Oman. While not strong enough to disrupt marine operations, this uptick in wind activity may result in mild wave action during nighttime boating or shipping activities.
Daytime temperatures will remain high, with some interior zones potentially reaching 43°C or higher, while nighttime lows will remain consistent with earlier in the week. With UV levels increasing, residents are advised to use sunscreen and protective clothing when outdoors.
This consistent weather pattern marks a seasonal transition from spring into the early stages of summer, with each day getting progressively warmer and drier.
Atmospheric Influences: Understanding the Week’s Weather Pattern
The consistent weather conditions forecast for this week are primarily driven by a mix of pressure systems. A surface low-pressure system originating from the east and a high-pressure front from the west are exerting influence over the UAE, creating a stable and warm atmosphere.
An additional upper-air high-pressure extension further stabilizes the atmosphere, reducing the chance of cloud development or rainfall. This weather pattern is typical during the transition from spring to summer in the Arabian Peninsula.
While humidity levels remain manageable during the day, overnight cooling can lead to localized fog formation, especially in coastal and low-lying regions. The interaction of land and sea temperatures contributes to the early morning fog seen on Sunday and Monday.
The absence of strong frontal systems or convective instability keeps the skies clear and weather largely predictable for the coming days.
Effects on Daily Activities, Travel, and Marine Operations
The week’s weather forecast ensures favorable conditions for both daily life and outdoor activities across the UAE. Clear skies and stable temperatures provide an ideal environment for tourism, commuting, and professional operations.
However, residents and visitors should take precautions during periods of high heat, especially during peak sunlight hours from late morning to mid-afternoon. Hydration, sun protection, and regular breaks are strongly advised for those working outdoors.
Early morning fog may temporarily reduce visibility along highways and arterial roads. Drivers are urged to use low-beam headlights and reduce speed during fog-prone hours, especially near coastal and desert areas.
Maritime workers and recreational boaters can enjoy calm seas throughout the forecast period, although attention should be paid to Wednesday evening winds that may cause slight offshore disturbances.
For those planning desert safaris, hikes, or city walks, this is an optimal week — provided all heat safety measures are observed.
