UAE residents can expect a mix of sunshine and clouds today, with a chance of scattered showers in some areas. The National Center of Meteorology (NCM) has forecast fair to partly cloudy skies for most of the country. However, there is a slight possibility of isolated rain showers developing over the eastern mountains, reaching some internal areas.
Temperatures are expected to remain on the warm side, with highs reaching around 38°C (100°F) in internal areas. Motorists are advised to be cautious on the roads as sudden downpours can cause flash flooding. Humidity levels will also be on the higher side, making it feel even hotter.
The chance of rain comes as a welcome respite from the usual dry conditions experienced in the UAE during the summer months. While the amount of rainfall is expected to be minimal, it could help to alleviate dust storms and improve air quality.
Residents are advised to stay updated on the latest weather forecasts, particularly if they are planning outdoor activities. The NCM regularly issues weather updates through their website and social media channels.
Looking ahead to the rest of the week, the weather is expected to remain mostly sunny with hot temperatures. There is a continued slight chance of isolated showers over the eastern mountains, but these are not expected to be widespread.
The UAE experiences a hot desert climate throughout most of the year. Rainfall is generally scarce, with most precipitation occurring during the winter months. However, occasional showers can occur during the summer months, especially over the eastern mountains.
