The UAE is currently under the influence of a surface low-pressure system extending from the east, coupled with an upper air low-pressure system. These conditions are creating partly cloudy to cloudy skies at times, with a chance of convective cloud formation in the eastern and southern regions, potentially leading to rainfall.
Winds and Visibility
Light to moderate winds are expected across the country, fresh to strong at times especially with cloud activity. Blowing dust and sand may reduce horizontal visibility, particularly in internal and desert areas.
