UAE Weather Alert: Heavy Rain, Thunderstorms Hit Dubai and Abu Dhabi

Weather Alert in UAE

Heavy rain and unstable weather conditions have impacted parts of the UAE, particularly in Dubai and Abu Dhabi.

Scattered showers, strong winds, and reduced visibility have been reported, leading to traffic disruptions and safety advisories issued by local authorities.

The National Centre of Meteorology (NCM) has confirmed that the current weather pattern is characterized by cloud build-up and intermittent rainfall across multiple regions.

Strong winds, reaching speeds up to 40–50 km/h, have caused blowing dust in some areas and reduced visibility on highways. Sea conditions have also been affected, with rough waters in the Arabian Gulf and moderate to rough conditions in the Oman Sea.

Temperatures have dipped slightly due to increased cloud cover and rainfall activity. Experts note that March is a transition period for UAE weather, where sudden changes, including rain, wind, and temperature drops, are common.

The unsettled weather is expected to continue over the coming days, with rainfall forecast across different parts of the UAE through the week. While this may feel disruptive, it is part of a seasonal weather pattern that typically affects the UAE this time of year.

Residents are urged to stay alert and follow safety guidelines. In case of emergencies, contact relevant emergency services as needed.
