UAE Weather Forecast: Dusty Day Ahead

UAE Weather: What to Expect on April 11? Dusty Day with Partly Cloudy Skies

On Friday, April 11, generally favorable weather can be expected in the United Arab Emirates. However, according to the National Meteorological Center (NCM) forecast, occasional dusty winds and partly cloudy skies are also anticipated throughout the day.

Sunshine, Slight Cloudiness, and Dusty Air

The NCM report suggests that Friday will be mostly sunny, although clouds may appear periodically, especially over the eastern parts of the country. In the morning hours, low-lying clouds may form that are unlikely to bring precipitation but may affect visibility.

Light to moderately strong winds arriving from the southeast and northeast may occasionally cause dust storms during the day. Wind speeds will typically range from 10 to 25 km/h but could reach up to 35 km/h in some areas. This is likely to reduce visibility in open areas and cause discomfort for those outdoors.

Temperature Outlook in Various Emirates

Temperatures are nearing summer levels. In the UAE's capital, Abu Dhabi, the highest daytime temperature will be around 38°C, with a nighttime low of about 22°C.

In Dubai, where proximity to the sea may lessen the daytime heat, thermometers can rise to 37°C, while the temperature will drop to 24°C at night. This more pleasant evening temperature is ideal for outdoor activities, dining on terraces, or a walk along the beach.

In Sharjah, the day will be slightly cooler, with a maximum temperature of 36°C and a nighttime low of only 19°C, providing a refreshing respite for those present.

Marine Conditions

According to the weather forecast, sea conditions will be relatively calm: the waters of the Arabian Gulf and the Oman Gulf will remain slightly wavy. This creates favorable conditions for marine sports and boat trips, but given the dusty air and wind, paying attention to local warnings is advised.

What to Watch Out For?

Due to the dusty wind, it is recommended for those with allergies or respiratory problems to stay indoors during the afternoon.

Stronger UV radiation necessitates appropriate sun protection, especially from noon to 3 PM.

It's advisable to consume enough fluids to avoid dehydration.

Drivers should exercise increased caution, as the dusty wind may reduce visibility on the roads.

Summary

Friday, April 11, promises to be generally pleasant but slightly challenging for UAE residents and visitors. Daytime temperatures are rising, as spring slowly gives way to the summer heat. While dusty winds and slight cloudiness may cause minor inconveniences, they will not significantly disrupt leisure activities. It is therefore wise to plan smartly and adapt to weather conditions to make the most of the day.
