Fluctuating weather conditions, including rain, lightning, thunder and hail, have been forecast across the UAE from Tuesday, October 15, to Friday, October 18, due to a low-pressure system moving from the Arabian Sea toward Oman.
The National Centre of Meteorology (NCM) has predicted increased cloud cover and convective clouds, leading to varying rainfall, especially in the eastern and northern regions before spreading to the interior and western areas.
Light to moderate winds are expected from the southeast to northeast, which may strengthen at times and create blowing dust, reducing visibility in some areas.
The NCM also warns that sea conditions in the Arabian Gulf will be slight to moderate, becoming rough at times, while the Oman Sea is also expected to remain slight to moderate.
