UAE March Weather: Sunshine with Light Winds
UAE Weather on March 28: Sunny with Some Clouds and Light Winds
On March 28, the weather across the United Arab Emirates is generally expected to be pleasant and clear, although some areas may experience partly cloudy skies according to the National Meteorological Center (NCM) forecast. While calm weather is anticipated, humidity levels are expected to rise at night and into Saturday morning, which could lead to fog or mist especially along the western coastal and inland regions.
Temperature and Weather Conditions in Major Cities
Dubai: daytime high of 31°C, nighttime low of 19°C
Abu Dhabi: temperatures rising to 30°C during the day, dropping to 18°C at dawn
Sharjah: highest temperature will be 31°C, while the lowest will be 16°C
The light east-southeast wind, turning northwest later, is expected to be generally light to moderate (10-20 km/h), though it may reach speeds of up to 30 km/h at times. The seas – the Arabian Gulf and the Oman Gulf – are expected to remain calm with gentle waves.
Humid Dawn and Visibility Conditions
The meteorological service has warned that thick mist or fog might form overnight and in the early morning hours, particularly in coastal and inland areas. This might notably affect transportation, especially on highways and less lit rural roads. The humid air can reduce visibility; therefore, drivers are advised to proceed with heightened caution.
Weather Variability: Transitioning from Winter to Spring
The NCM has previously indicated that the UAE is currently experiencing a seasonal transition, leading to more frequent and rapid weather changes. The period straddling winter and spring often sees atmospheric instability, which could extend until May. Although current forecasts predict calm weather, these quick transitions may occasionally bring unexpected rains, dust storms, or humidity.
Recently, on March 25, the authorities issued a dust storm warning which lasted until 9 PM, resulting in reduced visibility across several regions. This is part of the phenomenon brought about by seasonal weather transitions.
Extended Tourist Season
The pleasant weather in March and April has made travel increasingly popular not only among locals but also among tourists. While the main tourist season used to end by late February or early March, it has now extended into April. Daytime temperatures are pleasantly warm, and the evenings are cool, making them ideal for sightseeing, beach walks, or outdoor activities.
The prolonged period of favorable climate is a significant advantage for the hospitality and tourism industries, especially in the cities of Dubai and Abu Dhabi, where an increasing number of spring events, festivals, and sports activities are organized during this time.
Summary:
On March 28, calm and pleasant weather is expected across the UAE. While the day will bring sunny to partly cloudy conditions, nighttime may see increased humidity leading to mist or fog. The weather is conducive to recreational activities, yet it is advisable to monitor forecasts as the transitional season can bring rapid changes. The spring period continues to offer ideal conditions for tourism.
