According to the official weather forecaster of UAE, National Center of Meterology & Seismology (NCMS), unstable weather conditions will prevail in the country.

The weatherman forecasts rain on Thursday evening and night as well as on Friday morning. The rain will be accompanied by a significant drop in temperatures.

"The cloud amount will gradually increase over the western areas, then to different areas of the country, associated with rain especially during evening and night," forecasts NCMS.

Residents can expect a 'gradual but significant fall in temperatures on Thursday'.

"Winds will be moderate to fresh, strong at times due to cloud activity over the sea, causing dust to blow over some internal areas, and reducing the horizontal visibility."

Sea will be rough in general so it would be prudent to avoid going out into the sea over the weekend.

The maximum temperature in the internal areas of the country will be around 36 deg C, while the minimum would be 16 deg C.

It will be a little cooler in the coastal areas with the mercury touching a maximum of 34 deg C and the minimum temperature will likely be around 18 deg C.

WEATHER ON FRIDAY

The weatherman forecasts partly cloudy weather in general on Friday. The sky will be 'cloudy at times over some areas, with a chance of rain, especially during morning time'.

Another fall in temperatures is expected during the weekend so those going out should be dressed accordingly.

"Winds will be moderate to fresh in general, causing dust to blow over the internal areas, reducing the horizontal visibility at times, and sea will be rough," adds NCMS.
