Dubai is bracing for another day of unpredictable weather, with the National Center of Meteorology (NCM) forecasting dusty skies and breezy conditions across the region on March 5, 2025. Residents should prepare for light rainfall and reduced visibility as the weather fluctuates throughout the day.
According to reports from the NCM, the day will commence with dusty to cloudy skies, particularly impacting coastal and island regions. Light rain was already observed earlier today over Al Sila and Al Wuhaydah areas of the Al Dhafra region. Wind speeds may reach up to 40 km/h, stirring up dust and creating challenging visibility conditions for commuters.
Temperatures across the UAE are expected to vary, with coastal areas anticipating highs between 27 and 30 degrees Celsius and lows dropping to 14 to 19 degrees Celsius. For Dubai, specific forecasts indicate high levels around 30 degrees, with lows reaching about 20 degrees Celsius.
Meanwhile, the Arabian Gulf is set to experience moderate to rough seas, with wave heights potentially reaching six feet, prompting sea goers to take care as conditions are expected to be tumultuous. A yellow alert was issued for rough sea conditions, indicating turbulent waters from 5 PM to 10 PM on March 5.
Residents are advised to remain vigilant and check updates from weather authorities regularly. While outdoor activities may be limited due to dust and wind, those planning beach visits should prioritize safety against the forecasted rough sea conditions.
Later weather conditions suggest the dusty atmosphere might continue through the evening, with inland areas potentially feeling the effects of humidity by night. Forecasts hint at the possibility of fog or mist settling during early Thursday, March 6. For tomorrow, the NCM anticipates conditions to remain dusty with occasional cloud cover.
On March 6, light to moderate southeasterly to northeasterly winds will continue, capable of freshening and causing dust storms at speeds of 10 to 25 km/h, potentially hitting 40 km/h. This pattern is expected to persist, with sea conditions remaining moderate to rough in the Arabian Gulf and slight to moderate along the Oman Sea.
Authorities are being proactive with information disseminations urging the public to take precautions, especially when traveling or participating in outdoor activities. The fluctuated temperature, high humidity levels, and the risk of fog or mist during the night highlight the need for caution.
With summer fast approaching, UAE's weather is expected to remain dynamic, forcing residents to stay alert and ready for shifting climate patterns.
