The National Centre of Meteorology (NCM) has issued a comprehensive weather forecast for the UAE this week, highlighting a mix of rain, cumulus cloud formations, and dusty conditions. Residents across the country are advised to stay alert as weather patterns shift, particularly in the eastern and southern regions. At **Business Promotion24**, we bring you the latest updates to help you plan your week safely and efficiently.
### **Rain and Cumulus Clouds: What to Expect**
According to the NCM, rain is expected to fall on separate areas across the UAE throughout the week. The formation of cumulus clouds is a primary feature of this update, particularly over eastern areas, with the potential to extend toward western and inland regions.
**Tuesday and Wednesday Forecast:**
Chances of rain remain high on Tuesday, with cumulus clouds likely to develop by the afternoon. This trend continues into Wednesday, where the weather is expected to range from fair to partly cloudy. During these days, southeasterly to northwesterly winds may pick up, reaching speeds of up to 50 km/h. These active winds are expected to stir up dust and sand, significantly reducing horizontal visibility in open areas.
### **Morning Fog and High Humidity**
While the afternoons may bring rain, the mornings will be characterized by high humidity levels in coastal and inland areas. The NCM warns of fog or light fog formation, which could impact early morning commutes. Drivers are urged to exercise caution during these hours as visibility may drop suddenly.
By Thursday, the likelihood of cumulus cloud formation is expected to decrease, though some activity may still be concentrated in western areas during the afternoon.
### **Temperature Breakdown Across the Emirates**
Despite the cloud cover, temperatures across the UAE remain varied. Here is the expected temperature range for major cities this week:
* **Abu Dhabi:** 38°C (Max) – 27°C (Min)
* **Dubai:** 37°C (Max) – 28°C (Min)
