UAE braces for rain and cooler temperatures

## Weather Changes Ahead

The UAE is set to experience a shift in weather patterns this week, with rain and cooler temperatures forecasted. The National Centre of Meteorology (NCM) has indicated that a weather system will intensify over the country starting Wednesday.

## Rainfall and Temperature Drop

Cloud cover is expected to increase from Tuesday night, particularly over islands and western regions, bringing a chance of light rain. As the low-pressure system strengthens, clouds will move towards Abu Dhabi and inland areas, eventually reaching northern and eastern regions. Rainfall will vary from light to moderate, with some areas potentially experiencing heavy rain.

## Wind and Sea Conditions

Winds are predicted to shift from south-easterly to north-westerly, becoming moderate to fresh at times. This change will likely raise dust and lead to a noticeable drop in temperatures. Sea conditions in the Arabian Gulf are expected to become rough from Tuesday night through Thursday, while the Sea of Oman will see light to moderate conditions, occasionally becoming rough.

## Advisory

Residents are advised to exercise caution due to the expected weather changes, particularly in areas prone to heavy rainfall and rough sea conditions.
