UAE Experiences Chilliest Temperature of 20.6°C

The UAE's National Center of Meteorology recorded the country's lowest temperature this Saturday morning at 20.6 degrees Celsius (69 degrees Fahrenheit) on Jebel Jais mountain in Ras Al Khaimah at 12:45 AM local time.

The temperature reading highlights the cooler conditions typically found at higher elevations across the Emirates. Jebel Jais, the UAE's highest peak at 1,934 meters above sea level, consistently records the country's lowest temperatures due to its altitude.

This morning's temperature reflects the UAE's winter weather patterns, when mountainous areas experience significantly cooler conditions compared to coastal and desert regions. The country's meteorological service regularly monitors temperature variations across different geographic zones to provide accurate weather forecasting for residents and visitors.

For context, temperatures in the UAE's major cities like Dubai and Abu Dhabi typically range between 15-25 degrees Celsius during winter months, making the mountain regions popular destinations for those seeking cooler weather during the traditionally hot climate season.
