Chilly Temperatures Grip UAE: Thermometers Plummet to 7.6°C Nationwide

The UAE recorded its lowest temperature of the day at 7.6 degrees Celsius (44.7°F) this morning in Rakna, Al Ain, according to the National Center of Meteorology. The reading was taken at 7:00 AM local time.

This temperature reading highlights the cooler winter conditions currently affecting the Emirates. Al Ain, located in the eastern region of Abu Dhabi emirate, often experiences the country's most extreme temperature variations due to its inland desert location and higher elevation compared to coastal areas.

The relatively cool morning temperature reflects the UAE's winter season, which typically runs from December through February. During this period, early morning temperatures can drop significantly, especially in desert and mountainous regions away from the moderating influence of the Arabian Gulf.

For residents and visitors, these cooler temperatures create ideal conditions for outdoor activities during morning hours. The temperature difference between early morning lows and afternoon highs can be substantial, often exceeding 15-20 degrees Celsius during winter months.
