UAE Braces for Cold Weather Conditions
UAE Weather: Temperatures Drop Below 2°C, Rise Expected Soon
The United Arab Emirates (UAE) recently experienced unusually cold weather, with temperatures dropping to just 2°C in several regions. Over the weekend, the country saw heavy rain and storms, leading to near-freezing temperatures particularly in mountainous and inland areas.
Impact of Weather Across Different Parts of the Country
Cold weather is not unusual during the winter months, but the temperature fluctuations due to atmospheric pressure changes have been particularly notable. The heavy rainfall and low temperatures affected multiple regions in the country, including mountainous and desert areas. Residents at lower altitudes also experienced significant cooling, which was surprising to many as winter generally brings more moderate weather.
When to Expect a Warm-up?
Starting Monday, UAE weather will be influenced by east and southeast winds, causing a slow but steady rise in temperatures. According to meteorologist Dr. Tom, temperatures are expected to rise by approximately 4°C in the coming days.
"Toward the end of last week, maximum temperatures in the inland areas ranged between approximately 24-25°C. However, around January 6-7, daytime highs are expected to reach 28-29°C. The specific temperature changes will depend on the prevailing atmospheric conditions," stated Dr. Tom.
Details of the Weather Forecast
In the coming days, the proportion of sunny periods will increase, providing more pleasant conditions for outdoor activities. However, southeast winds may slightly increase humidity, particularly in the nighttime hours. This period could be ideal for tourists and locals to enjoy desert excursions, mountain hikes, or visits to Dubai's famous beaches.
What to Consider?
a. Clothing: The cold will still be noticeable during the early morning and evening, so it is advisable to dress in layers.
b. Transportation: Due to recent rains, roads may be wet in certain areas, so exercise caution while traveling.
c. Outdoor Activities: The rise in temperature promises more pleasant weather, but due to the humidity, it's advisable to carry sunscreen and sufficient water.
Conclusion
UAE's weather continues to dynamically change throughout the winter months. While the past few days have been unusually cold, milder conditions are expected at the beginning of the week. This period offers a great opportunity to enjoy the country's diverse natural beauty while preparing for weather changes. Whether planning a desert tour or exploring Dubai, the warming weather will benefit everyone.
