Eid Al Fitr 2025: UAE's Weather Forecast
Eid Al Fitr 2025 Weather Forecast in the UAE: What to Expect During the Celebration?
The Eid Al Fitr holiday is approaching, which is expected to begin on Sunday, March 30th, or Monday, March 31st, in 2025. In the United Arab Emirates (UAE), both public and private sector employees receive a day off, leading many to plan how they will spend this festive period. The perennial question arises: what kind of weather can we expect during Eid? Will it be suitable for outings or more appropriate for a cozy home stay?
Gradual Warming During the Day, Cool Mornings
According to the UAE National Meteorological Center (NCM), from March 29th to April 2nd, daytime temperatures will gradually rise, ranging from mild to warm weather. However, it will be cooler in the evenings and early mornings, so layering your clothing is advisable, especially if planning outdoor activities early in the morning or late at night.
The sky will be partly cloudy, with lower clouds appearing primarily in the eastern regions during the afternoons. On Saturday, convective clouds may form over mountainous areas, potentially bringing light showers.
Wind, Humidity, Fog - Changing Atmospheric Conditions
Winds will be light to moderate but can strengthen occasionally during the day. Expect humid conditions at night, particularly on Saturday, Sunday, and Monday mornings, when fog or mist may occur in some areas. This is crucial information for travelers: pay attention to visibility conditions and meteorological advisories.
Temperature Ranges During Eid
Temperature fluctuation depends significantly on which part of the country you are located. According to the NCM's forecast, the expected highest daytime temperatures are as follows:
Coastal and island areas: 28°C – 38°C
Inland regions: 35°C – 41°C
Mountainous areas: 21°C – 29°C
The lowest nighttime temperatures might be:
Coastal and island areas: 19°C – 25°C
Inland regions: 17°C – 23°C
Mountainous areas: 15°C – 21°C
This means, for instance, a mountain hike in the morning could offer fresh air at around 15°C, while inland desert areas could see temperatures rise above 40°C during the day.
Marine Conditions
According to the meteorological center, the state of the sea in the Arabian Gulf and the Omani Sea will generally be calm, so those who prefer sea excursions or beach activities can set their plans with confidence.
Important Warning: Rely Only on Official Sources
The NCM has reiterated the importance of not spreading rumors or unofficial information about the weather. Instead, it is advisable to regularly follow reports issued by the meteorological center, providing up-to-date and accurate forecasts.
Summary
During the Eid Al Fitr period, the weather in the UAE will be varied and generally favorable for recreational activities, especially during the day. Those planning outdoor programs should consider the afternoon clouds, foggy mornings, and significant daytime warming. The mountain and coastal areas offer fresher air for those who wish to avoid the heat. Whether you choose hiking, beach outings, or a relaxing home stay, the holiday provides an excellent opportunity for relaxation.
