United Arab Emirates will experience rain and unstable weather starting on Friday, 12 December 2025. The National Centre of Meteorology has warned residents to prepare for a variety of weather in the next few days.
Cloudy skies with scattered showers of rain and changing winds can be expected in several emirates.
Rain and Cloudy Skies Across the Emirates
Cloud formation and rain are caused by a low-pressure area moving through the region. It is likely that rain will be moderate to light at times. This includes coastal regions and islands. Stay prepared, particularly in the early mornings and late evenings.
Wind and Sea Conditions
Forecast winds are light to moderate with some gusts. This can reduce visibility, and blow dust into exposed areas. Sea of Oman is likely to remain mild to moderate, but the Arabian Gulf may experience some rough patches.
Temperature Drop and Humidity
Temperatures will drop slightly in the UAE due to unsteady weather. The humidity levels can rise along coasts and increase the chance of fog early in the morning.
Plan your outdoor activities and dress accordingly.
What Residents Should Expect
The cloud cover increases at night and on weekends, which will bring cooler and more humid conditions. Throughout the forecast, scattered rain will likely fall in northern coastal and island areas. Windy conditions can sometimes make it difficult to enjoy the outdoors, particularly in areas with open spaces.
Safety Precautions
Residents must monitor the local weather regularly. Beachgoers and drivers should both be alert to rough sea conditions and be careful on slippery and wet roads. Take the necessary precautions to ensure your safety in this unstable weather.
