The UAE is gearing up for a noticeable winter chill in the coming weeks. If you’ve been enjoying the warm weather, it’s time to bring out the woollies, as temperatures are expected to dip below 12°C in some areas. Additionally, rain and wind are set to make an appearance, bringing a refreshing change to the usually warm climate.

According to experts at the National Centre of Meteorology (NCM), the cooler weather will begin from December 16, as north-westerly winds start sweeping across the region. These winds will bring in cooler air masses, leading to a gradual drop in temperatures throughout the country. Expect a temperature decrease of around 5-7°C, starting in the western areas and spreading to the rest of the UAE over the following days.

Along with the cooler temperatures, the UAE will experience some rainfall this weekend. The weather will be windy, and there may be some scattered showers in various parts of the country. It’s a perfect time to enjoy the refreshing weather, but don’t forget to keep an umbrella handy!

So, if you’ve been holding off on switching to your winter wardrobe, now’s the time to get cozy and bundle up. As the UAE transitions into its cooler winter season, this change is sure to bring a welcome break from the usual warmth, with a hint of rain to add to the charm.
