UAE Weather Forecast: Partly Cloudy with Winds Up to 45 km/h on Saturday

The UAE National Centre of Meteorology (NCM) has forecast partly cloudy weather across the country for Saturday, November 14. Some areas may see low cloud cover during the day.

Winds are expected to blow from the northwest to southwest, ranging from light to moderate speeds of 10 km/h to 25 km/h, with occasional fresh to strong gusts reaching up to 45 km/h over the sea.

Temperature readings will vary slightly by emirate. In Abu Dhabi and Sharjah, temperatures are predicted to be between 25ºC and 29ºC, while Dubai will experience temperatures ranging from 25ºC to 30ºC.

The sea conditions will be rough in the Arabian Gulf and range from rough to moderate in the Oman Sea.

In response to the expected cooler and wetter weather, Sharjah authorities have intensified their preparations for potential rainfall. Maintenance crews have cleaned approximately 40,000 drainage openings and readied 70 basins to collect rainwater.

Additionally, several key roads in Sharjah are part of a proactive rain preparedness plan. Nine new pumping stations have been installed across five major roads, each capable of draining up to 1,200 cubic meters of water per hour to prevent flooding.
