Dark storm clouds and lightning over UAE skyline.

The United Arab Emirates is bracing for heavy rain and thunderstorms as a low-pressure system approaches the region. The National Centre of Meteorology (NCM) has issued warnings for unstable weather conditions expected from October 6 to 9, with significant rainfall anticipated across various emirates.

Key Takeaways

  • Heavy rain and thunderstorms expected from October 6 to 9.
  • Visibility may drop due to light to moderate winds causing blowing dust.
  • Hailstorms possible in Dubai, Abu Dhabi, and Sharjah.
  • Residents advised to exercise caution, especially motorists.

Weather Forecast

The NCM has indicated that the UAE will experience a combination of surface low pressure and upper air low pressure systems. This meteorological setup is likely to lead to the formation of convective clouds, resulting in rainfall across the eastern, northern, and southern regions of the country.

  • Rainfall Timeline:
    • October 6: Initial rain expected in eastern areas.
    • October 7-9: Heavy rainfall accompanied by lightning and thunder.

Visibility Concerns

As the weather deteriorates, residents should be prepared for reduced visibility. Light to moderate winds are expected to stir up dust, further impacting driving conditions. The NCM has advised motorists to remain vigilant and adhere to speed limits, especially in areas prone to fog and dust storms.

Hailstorm Alerts

In addition to rain, there is a possibility of hailstorms in major cities such as Dubai, Abu Dhabi, and Sharjah. Dr. Ahmed Habib from the NCM has emphasized that convective cloud formation is already underway, and residents should be prepared for sudden weather changes.

  • Areas at Risk for Hail:
    • Dubai
    • Abu Dhabi
    • Sharjah

Safety Measures

Authorities are urging residents to take necessary precautions during this period of unstable weather. Here are some recommended safety measures:

  1. Avoid Outdoor Activities: Stay indoors during heavy rain and thunderstorms.
  2. Monitor Weather Updates: Keep an eye on local weather reports for real-time updates.
  3. Drive Cautiously: If you must travel, reduce speed and maintain a safe distance from other vehicles.
  4. Prepare for Flooding: Be aware of potential flooding in low-lying areas, especially near Wadi regions.

Conclusion

As the UAE prepares for this wave of unstable weather, residents are encouraged to stay informed and take precautions to ensure their safety. The upcoming days will be crucial as the country navigates through heavy rain, thunderstorms, and potential hailstorms. Stay tuned for further updates from the NCM as the situation develops.
