The weatherman forecasts that light rain in many parts of the UAE light today.

According to their detailed weather forecast released on NCMS’ official twitter handle, unstable weather conditions will prevail till Saturday.

“Where the state will be affected by a trough of surface low pressure extending from the southwest areas of the Arabian Peninsula, associated with a stream of clouds in the upper levels,” it read.

The weather will be partly cloudy today, with “some areas in the west of Abu Dhabi emirate, towards Sila, Ruwais, and the Western Islands,” getting light rain.

“Moderate Southeast to Northeast winds, freshening at times, 20-30km/hr, may reach to 40km/hr over some areas with clouds,” it added.

“It will cause blowing dust over the exposed areas, with a gradual rise in temperatures.

“Sea will be moderate in general, becoming rough at times with cloud activity in the Arabian Gulf, and moderate in Oman sea.”

NCMS advises residents to exert caution as blowing dust/sand could reduce visibility considerably. “Please take care in case of poor visibility due to blowing dust/sand and rain.”

They also warn against heading to the valley or the beach over the weekend. “There could be water logging near eastern mountains and valley, and the rough sea conditions on Friday, and Saturday” make it unsafe for residents.
