Light rainfall expected across parts of UAE with temperatures fluctuating this week

## Weather Overview

The UAE is set to experience partly cloudy to cloudy conditions with light rainfall expected in some western and coastal regions. This weather pattern is due to weak surface pressure systems and a weak upper-air low-pressure extension, leading to unstable conditions.

## Temperature and Wind

Temperatures on Sunday are forecasted to range from 24°C to 29°C in coastal and island areas, 28°C to 33°C inland, and 20°C to 25°C in mountainous regions. Winds will be light to moderate, occasionally freshening, blowing from northwesterly to northeasterly directions at speeds of 10 to 25 km/h, reaching up to 35 km/h at times.

## Humidity and Sea Conditions

Humidity levels may reach 70-90% in coastal areas, while inland regions could see humidity between 60% and 80%. The Arabian Gulf is expected to be slight to moderate, while the Oman Sea remains slight.

## Week Ahead

On Monday, similar weather conditions are expected with a chance of light rain in western and coastal areas. By Tuesday, temperatures may drop slightly with continued chances of rainfall in northern and western areas. Winds could strengthen, reaching up to 40 km/h, and sea conditions might become rough in the Arabian Gulf.

Wednesday will see persistent cloud cover with potential light rain in northern and eastern areas during the morning, followed by a gradual rise in temperatures. Humidity may increase overnight, possibly leading to fog or mist in some coastal and internal areas.

On Thursday, partly cloudy conditions are expected to continue with a chance of rainfall in some areas. Winds will remain light to moderate, occasionally freshening, and sea conditions are forecast to be slight to moderate, becoming rough at times in the Arabian Gulf.
