Overview

• After the autumnal equinox, the UAE enters a gradual cool-down rather than an abrupt shift, according to recent coverage.
• Wednesday’s forecast calls for partly cloudy skies with northwesterly winds at 15–30 km/h, gusting to 45 km/h, which may lift dust and reduce visibility.
• The Arabian Gulf is expected to turn rough to very rough at times, while the Sea of Oman remains slight to moderate.
• Temperatures are forecast to peak near 39°C nationally, with city highs of about 36°C in Dubai and Sharjah and 37°C in Abu Dhabi, and lows down to 25–30°C.
• Earlier this week, the NCM logged coastal humidity with patchy morning fog and forecast highs around 40–41°C, and Khaleej Times reported a 44.5°C maximum in Al Dhafra.
