The National Centre of Meteorology (NCM) has forecasted variable weather conditions across the UAE for Friday, January 3.

For Friday, January 3, the National Centre of Meteorology (NCM) projects varied weather conditions over the United Arab Emirates, Northern, eastern and coastal areas are prone to have partly overcast to opaque sky. These clouds could bring scattered rain showers, therefore following the pattern of damp weather observed lately. Residents should schedule their daily activities in line with the sporadic precipitation.

Apart from rain, the NCM has observed that early Saturday morning and night could cause fog or mist to develop in several inside places. These hours should bring humid circumstances, which increases the possibility of limited vision. Drivers-especially those who commute late at night or early in the morning-are recommended to use great caution on the road to prevent mishaps resulting from inadequate sight.

The changing weather will so also influence the marine conditions. Whereas the Oman Sea will experience calm waves, ranging from moderate to slight, the Arabian Gulf is expected to be rough to moderate. Before leaving for any kind of sea activity, whoever want to participate should review revised maritime predictions. One should be careful since under the effect of severe winds marine conditions could change quickly.

The prediction also shows light to moderate winds flowing from the northwest to northeastern. These winds are supposed to be fresh at times, especially during the daytime when their speeds fall between 15 and 30 km/h. In some places, gusts up to 40 km/h could produce blowing dust. This dust could compromise air quality and cause brief visibility decrease. Residents-especially those with respiratory sensitivity-are advised to stay indoors or don masks should dust levels noticeably increase.

Given such volatile weather, one cannot stress the need of keeping informed. The NCM counsels citizens to routinely check official updates in order to properly schedule their activities Platforms like WhatsApp and other trustworthy news sources allow one to rapidly access updates. Maintaining connection to these alarms will enable residents to be ready and guarantee daytime safety.

Tomorrow's UAE weather looks to be a mix of sporadic showers, possible fog, humid conditions, and varied winds. Changing sea conditions underline even more the need of vigilance, particularly for those organizing outdoor or marine events. Residents can safely negotiate these weather patterns and adjust to the demands of the day by keeping educated and following required safety measures.
