Rain in Dubai? Cloudy skies and showers in weekend forecast

Light rain in dubai this weekend

Light rain hits Dubai and the skies could stay cloudy into the weekend

 

Rain is back on the radar in Dubai.

Light showers were reported across parts of the city today as cloudy skies swept across the UAE.

According to the National Centre of Meteorology (NCM), this unsettled weather could continue through the weekend, bringing more rain, humid conditions, and rough seas to coastal areas.

 

Residents can expect:

 

Overcast skies across much of the country

A spike in humidity, especially in the evenings

Rough sea conditions in the Arabian Gulf; marine warnings are in place

A higher chance of scattered rainfall through the weekend

The NCM advises drivers to stay cautious on slippery roads and beachgoers to avoid swimming in rough waters.

With Dubai’s typically dry summer months in full swing, this brief change offers a welcome, and rare, breath of cooler air.

So, if you’re planning outdoor activities, keep an eye on the sky and pack a light jacket or umbrella just in case.
