UAE to see light rain, strong winds and rough seas next week as NCM warns of changing weather conditions / Image: File

According to the National Center of Meteorology (NCM), the UAE may see a significant change in weather conditions next week, with light rain, strong winds and rough sea conditions expected. This follows generally fine weather conditions on Friday, providing a brief period of stability before the atmosphere becomes more active.Authorities have advised residents to remain cautious, especially those going out or planning marine activities, as wind speeds are expected to increase and visibility may be affected in some areas.

UAE weather forecast for next week

According to the NCM, the weather across the UAE will gradually turn partly cloudy early next week, with the possibility of light rain over scattered areas. These changes are being driven by regional atmospheric instability, which is expected to increase in the coming days.Winds are likely to be quite gusty, ranging from moderate to gusty at times, especially along coastal and open areas. These winds can cause dust and sand to blow up, reducing horizontal visibility, especially during the day.Forecasters have indicated that while rainfall will be light and intermittent, the combination of clouds, wind and dust will mark a marked departure from the calm conditions seen in recent days.

Authorities issue marine warning

Strong winds will particularly impact marine conditions. The NCM warned that sea conditions in the Arabian Gulf and Oman Sea are expected to be rough to very rough at times, especially during strong winds.Authorities have urged fishermen, boat operators and beachgoers to exercise caution and stay updated with official advisories. If winds become stronger than forecast, maritime activities may be affected and small vessels in particular may face challenging conditions.

Current UAE weather

Before the change, most areas in the UAE were experiencing mild to partly cloudy weather, with relatively stable conditions. Temperatures in early April are moderate, with heat during the day and slight coolness in the evenings.However, this calm phase is expected to be short-lived. Meteorologists say the incoming weather system will gradually change conditions, bringing cooler winds, cloudy skies and occasional rain as the week progresses.

ncm advice

The National Meteorological Center advises residents to monitor regular updates and follow safety guidance, especially because weather conditions can change rapidly. Driving conditions on highways and open roads may be affected due to reduced visibility due to dust coupled with strong winds.Authorities have not issued a severe weather warning at this stage, but the emerging forecast suggests a period of unstable weather, making it important for residents to be prepared.

The comments appear to differ from his earlier stance in an interview with The Times of Israel, where he described ending the war as a “mutual” decision with Netanyahu.The conflict dates back to February 28, when the Trump-directed military campaign against Iran – Operation Epic Fury – was launched. The operation resulted in the removal of Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, leading to a dramatic escalation with far-reaching consequences.According to a detailed account in Time, the course of the battle was anything but linear.
