The UAE is likely to see cold mornings and even colder nights over the next few days with temperatures falling to as low as 2.6°C.
According to the weather bureau, the country is currently experiencing an extension of a surface high pressure system over the country and the eastern parts of the Arabian Peninsula, in addition to “an extension of weak low pressure over the North and the East, and a high pressure over the Western parts of the country in the upper air”.
The National Centre of Meteorology (NCM) said the weather on Sunday will be fair to partly cloudy, especially in the northern and eastern emirates as temperatures will continue to slightly fall.
“Wind speed will tend to decrease during the night over land, and relative humidity will increase over some internal areas,” said the NCM.
The NCM explained that over the next three days, temperatures will remain partly cloudy over some northern and eastern parts of the country, with a probability of some rainfall on Tuesday. Light to moderate northwesterly winds will affect various regions, bringing gales to a speed of 30-40 km/h.
Temperatures will continue to be cold in the early morning and late at night, with the weather bureau locating the coldest spot in the UAE on Sunday to have fallen in Jebel Jais, as temperatures fell to 2.6 °C at 2.15 am.
