UAE winter season to officially start on Friday
Cloudy days are in store as temperatures remain
relatively stable over the next three days.
The National Centre of Meteorology (NCM) said that
although temperatures are not likely to go down, the weather will become cooler
due to moderate northwesterly winds that will affect parts of the country,
especially over the eastern coast.
In a statement issued on Tuesday, the NCM said that
wave height is expected to reach between 4 to 6 feet, peaking up to 7 feet
high, until 10am today. High waves will also affect the coastline on Wednesday
with the NCM cautioning residents to "be on the look out if you go for
outdoor activities".
According to its three-day forecast, the NCM said
that the weather until Thursday will be fair to partly cloudy, especially over
eastern areas, with high levels of humidity across some western internal areas
reaching 85 per cent by night and into the early morning.
Although the probability of rain is slim, residents
will still be able to enjoy the cooler weather as maximum temperatures will
reach 29 °C along coastal and internal areas with lows of 15 °C.
The towns located near the mountain region, such as
in Ras Al Khaimah, will have the lowest temperatures in general ranging from a
minimum of 10 °C at night and 22 °C at midday.
The UAE weather bureau also warned sea-goers of
rough seas in the Arabian Gulf as a result of strong winds that will reach up
to 42 km/h.
