Low-Pressure System Near India Won’t Affect UAE Weather
A low-pressure system has formed off the southern coast of India, but the National Center of Meteorology (NCM) has confirmed that it is not expected to affect the weather in the UAE. As the system develops, it may strengthen into a tropical depression by October 20, but its trajectory is projected to move westward, away from the UAE.
Current Weather Conditions in the UAE
Today, the UAE experienced fair to partly cloudy skies. As evening approached, humidity levels began to rise, particularly in coastal and internal areas, increasing the likelihood of fog or mist overnight into Saturday morning, especially in the western regions. Winds remained light to moderate, and the sea conditions were slight in both the Arabian Gulf and the Oman Sea.
The highest temperature recorded today was 39°C in Sweihan (Al Ain) at 15:30 UAE local time, while the lowest was 19.5°C in Al Heben Mountain (Fujairah) at 06:15 UAE local time.
Forecast for the Coming Days
The weather is expected to remain fair to partly cloudy, with an increase in cloud cover in the east by the afternoon. Overnight, humidity will rise, leading to possible fog or mist by Sunday morning. Winds will shift from southeasterly to northwesterly, ranging from 10 to 30 km/h, while sea conditions will remain slight.
In the following days, the forecast indicates mostly fair to partly cloudy weather, with convective clouds forming in the east and south, potentially causing a slight dip in temperatures. Humidity will persist at night, with chances of fog or mist. Winds may strengthen at times, raising dust levels, and the sea will be slight to moderate in the Arabian Gulf.
Monitoring the Situation
The NCM is actively monitoring the low-pressure system and will provide updates as necessary. Residents are encouraged to stay informed about weather conditions, particularly regarding the potential for fog and mist in the coming days.
FAQs
What is the current status of the low-pressure system near India?
The low-pressure system is developing near southern India and may strengthen into a tropical depression, but it is not expected to impact the UAE.
How will the weather in the UAE change over the weekend?
The UAE is likely to experience fair to partly cloudy weather with increased humidity, leading to possible fog or mist, especially in western areas.
What temperatures can we expect in the UAE this weekend?
Temperatures are expected to remain warm, with highs around 39°C and lows dropping to approximately 19.5°C, particularly in mountainous regions.
Conclusion
In summary, while a low-pressure system is forming near India, it poses no threat to the UAE’s weather. Residents should prepare for increased humidity and potential fog over the weekend, while the NCM continues to monitor the situation closely. Stay tuned for updates as conditions evolve.
The formation of low-pressure systems in the Indian Ocean is not uncommon, particularly during the transition from the monsoon season to the cooler months. These systems can influence weather patterns across the region, but their effects can vary significantly based on their trajectory and intensity. The NCM’s assessment indicates that the current system is moving westward, which is a typical path for such systems, often leading to minimal impact on the Gulf states.
As the UAE enters the cooler months, weather patterns generally shift, leading to more stable conditions. The increase in humidity, particularly in coastal areas, is a characteristic feature of this time of year. The potential for fog and mist is heightened during the transition from warm days to cooler nights, especially in the western regions where topography can influence local weather conditions. Residents are advised to exercise caution during early morning hours when visibility may be reduced due to fog.
In addition to monitoring the low-pressure system, the NCM continues to provide regular updates on local weather conditions. This proactive approach ensures that residents are well-informed and can prepare for any changes in weather. The agency emphasizes the importance of staying updated, particularly as the region approaches the winter months, when weather patterns can become more dynamic and occasionally unpredictable.
