UAE residents should prepare for rapid weather changes in the coming days as the transition period continues. After a day of downpour and thunderstorms, rainfall is expected to be less intense and will continue to ease over the next few days, according to a veteran weatherman from the National Centre of Meteorology (NCM). Dr Ahmed Habib, a climate expert, explained that a low-pressure system moving in from the southeast brought significant moisture from the Arabian Sea, leading to convective cloud formation. However, the system is shifting southward, resulting in lower moisture levels in the air and less intense rainfall.
The rainy conditions are expected to extend to Al Ain and Fujairah, primarily affecting the southern regions. Parts of Al Ain and the central and southern areas of Al Dhafra, particularly around Madinat Zayed, will experience rain in the coming days. Additionally, there are chances of rain in the eastern parts of the country, specifically in the mountainous areas near Fujairah. This transition period is characterized by rapid and significant weather changes during autumn and spring, with sudden shifts to unstable conditions leading to abrupt cloud cover and rain after previously stable weather.
As the weather transitions from autumn to winter, temperatures fluctuate between warm and cold, with the sun providing warmth during the day and significant temperature drops at night. September marks the last month of summer in the UAE, with temperatures usually decreasing, especially at night. Changes in air mass can significantly affect temperature, with cold air masses lowering temperatures and warm air masses raising them. The forecast suggests a change in air mass on Friday due to a northwesterly wind, indicating potential cooler temperatures.
The transition period is characterized by rapid weather changes, with rain being common during this time. Stability in weather can quickly shift to instability, leading to varying conditions such as fog followed by thunder activity. The weather quickly changes from stable to unstable during this period, highlighting the unpredictability of the transitional weather in the UAE. It is important for residents to stay up to date with the latest news and monitor weather updates to prepare for any sudden shifts in weather conditions.
