Partly Cloudy Forecast with Chance of Light Showers Tomorrow
Sara KhaledUAE Braces for Partial Cloud Cover and Light Rain as Eastern Regions Face Weather Shift
The UAE's National Center of Meteorology has forecasted partially cloudy to overcast conditions for tomorrow, with eastern and southern regions expected to experience light rainfall. The weather pattern signals a temporary shift from the country's typical arid conditions, bringing relief to residents and potential benefits for agriculture and water resources across the Emirates.
Regional Weather Patterns and Wind Conditions
Tomorrow's weather will be characterized by partially cloudy to sometimes overcast skies, particularly affecting the eastern and southern areas of the country. Light to moderate winds are expected throughout the day, occasionally picking up intensity during daylight hours. The wind direction will shift from southeast to northeast, with speeds ranging from 10 to 25 km/h and potentially reaching up to 35 km/h during peak periods.
This wind pattern is typical of transitional weather systems in the Arabian Peninsula, often preceding moisture-bearing air masses that can bring welcome precipitation to the region.
Maritime Conditions Across UAE Waters
Arabian Gulf Tidal Patterns
Sea conditions in the Arabian Gulf will remain calm with light waves. Maritime activities and shipping operations can expect favorable conditions, with the first high tide occurring at 8:41 AM and the first low tide at 2:46 AM, followed by a second low tide later in the day.
Sea of Oman Coastal Dynamics
The Sea of Oman will also experience light wave conditions, with a more complex tidal schedule. The first high tide is expected at 2:39 PM, followed by a second high tide at 6:07 AM. Low tides will occur at 9:32 AM and 10:48 PM, creating optimal conditions for coastal activities and fishing operations.
Temperature and Humidity Variations Across Emirates
Temperature ranges will vary significantly across the seven emirates, reflecting the country's diverse geographical landscape. Liwa is expected to record the highest temperature at 47°C, while Fujairah will enjoy the most moderate conditions with a maximum of just 34°C.
The coastal city of Abu Dhabi will see temperatures ranging from 34°C to 46°C with humidity levels between 15% and 50%. Dubai and Sharjah will experience similar conditions, with maximum temperatures of 45°C and humidity reaching up to 55%.
Eastern Coast Benefits from Maritime Influence
Fujairah, positioned on the eastern coast along the Sea of Oman, will experience the most comfortable conditions with temperatures between 31°C and 34°C. However, humidity levels will be notably higher, ranging from 40% to 80%, reflecting the maritime influence on this emirate's microclimate.
The offshore islands of Greater and Lesser Tunb, along with Abu Musa, will maintain moderate temperatures around 34°C to 39°C but will experience the highest humidity levels, reaching up to 85% - typical of small island environments surrounded by warm sea waters.
Implications for Agriculture and Water Resources
The forecasted light rainfall, particularly in eastern and southern regions, represents a valuable addition to the UAE's water resources. These areas, which include important agricultural zones, will benefit from natural irrigation that reduces dependence on desalinated water for farming operations.
The combination of cloud cover and potential precipitation also provides temporary relief from the intense solar radiation typical of the region, potentially reducing cooling costs and providing more comfortable outdoor conditions for residents and workers.
