UAE Weather Alert: Rising Humidity and Fog Risk Across Coastal Areas
National Center of Meteorology issues warning as weather conditions prompt caution in the UAE.
The National Center of Meteorology (NCM) in the United Arab Emirates has issued a weather alert due to expected changes in humidity and increased risk of fog across coastal regions in the coming days.
The latest forecast indicates fair to partly cloudy weather across the UAE, with cloud formations anticipated in the eastern parts of the country by the afternoon.
This morning's lowest temperature was recorded at 20.4°C in Damtha, Al Ain, at 5:00 am, while the highest temperature climbed to 49°C in Mukhairiz, located in the Al Dhafra region, at 2:45 pm.
As the day progresses, humidity levels are projected to rise, particularly tonight and into Thursday morning, enhancing the likelihood of fog or mist in several coastal and inland areas.
Wind conditions are expected to remain light to moderate, with speeds occasionally freshening during the day.
Sea conditions in both the Arabian Gulf and the Oman Sea are predicted to be slight, maintaining a tranquil state.
In the weather forecast for Thursday, the pattern is expected to continue, characterized by fair to partly cloudy conditions, with potential haziness at times and afternoon cloud formations in the east.
Humidity is anticipated to linger overnight into Friday morning, sustaining the possibility of mist along coastal regions.
Winds will transition from a southeasterly to a northwesterly direction, blowing at speeds between 10 and 25 km/h, with gusts potentially reaching up to 35 km/h.
On Friday, weather conditions are predicted to generally remain fair with intermittent clouds.
Wind patterns will be sustained from the south-west to the north-east, similar to the previous day, maintaining speeds of 10 to 25 km/h, and gusts of up to 35 km/h. The sea state is expected to remain slight across both the Arabian Gulf and the Oman Sea.
Fog formation in the UAE is attributed to the intricate interplay of temperature, humidity, and wind conditions.
Fog occurs when the air temperature closely aligns with the dew point, typically within 2.5°C, resulting in the condensation of water vapor into tiny droplets suspended in the air.
This creates the characteristic misty fog observed during this time of year, especially when cool air meets high humidity.
The NCM has advised residents to remain vigilant and updated regarding changing weather conditions, particularly during the early morning hours when fog may significantly reduce visibility.
