The weather forecast for the UAE tomorrow, Wednesday, predicts a partly cloudy day with periods of overcast skies, particularly over islands and some coastal areas in the northern regions.

The National Centre of Meteorology (NCM) estimates that these regions will have a probability of light to moderate rainfall, which will help to produce the colder weather all around, Along with the rain, winds should be rather mild to moderate, with sporadic fresh gusts. Though occasionally they may peak at up to 40 km/h, wind speeds will run between 10 and 25 km/h.

Particularly in the mountainous areas, where the mercury is forecast to drop as low as 4ºC, the temperatures will progressively drop, offering a far colder environment than in other parts of the nation. By contrast, the coastal towns will have more mild temperatures. While Dubai will experience temperatures dipping to 18ºC, Abu Dhabi is expected to have lows of 16ºC. This provides a colder and more pleasant day, clearly different from the generally warmer temperature these cities endure.

The inland regions will, meantime, experience higher temperatures than the coast and mountains. In these areas, tempers could reach 28ºC. The cities of Abu Dhabi and Dubai will continue have mild weather despite the cooler coastline and mountainous regions; afternoon highs of about 25ºC and 26ºC respectively. As the UAE moves toward more normal winter, this slow drop in temperatures illustrates the shifting dynamics of its weather.

The hilly areas of the UAE are predicted to feel much colder, while the central and coastal areas will experience mild temperatures. The colder temperatures in these places will stand in contrast to the cosiness of more metropolitan cities. While those in the interior and metropolitan centers should expect milder, more comfortable temperatures, residents in the northern and coastal areas should be ready for occasional rain showers.

Tomorrow's weather shows a similar winter trend in the UAE, with light rain showers expected all day mixed with clouds. Though it is not forecast to be heavy, the rain will provide some relief from the generally scorching temperatures, especially in coastal areas. The cold air the wind could also offer helps to accentuate the cooler temperature in the impacted regions.

Those who live or visit the UAE tomorrow should check the weather all day since circumstances can change, particularly in the northern and coastal areas where rain is likely. Although the day will continue somewhat pleasant, variations in the temperature depending on where you live could mean a major difference. People living in mountains should be ready for the cold; urban regions will see relatively mild temperatures. Particularly in areas more likely to get rain and cooler temperatures, the NCM's projection reminds us to stay ready for unexpected changes in the weather.
