Sharjah's Ras Al Khaimah Records UAE's Lowest Temperature

The UAE's National Center of Meteorology recorded the country's lowest temperature this Wednesday morning at 17.7 degrees Celsius (63.9°F) in Rakna, Al Ain at 6:30 AM local time. This marks another mild winter morning for the Emirates, where temperatures regularly drop to their coolest levels during early morning hours.

The temperature reading came from Rakna, located in the Al Ain region of Abu Dhabi emirate. Al Ain typically experiences the UAE's coolest temperatures due to its inland location and higher elevation compared to coastal cities like Dubai and Abu Dhabi.

Winter temperatures in the UAE usually range between 15-25°C (59-77°F), making this a fairly typical reading for the season. The country's desert climate means temperatures can vary significantly between day and night, with mornings often being 10-15 degrees cooler than afternoon highs.

The National Center of Meteorology regularly tracks and reports temperature data across the seven emirates through its network of weather stations. These readings help residents plan their daily activities and assist various industries, from agriculture to aviation, in making informed decisions based on weather conditions.
