The UAE’s National Centre of Meteorology (NCM) has issued a weather outlook indicating generally stable conditions across the country over the coming days, with only limited disruptions expected from cloud cover, humidity, and occasional wind activity.
The forecast, which spans the next four days, suggests that businesses operating in aviation, maritime transport, construction, and logistics are unlikely to face significant weather-related challenges, although early-morning visibility conditions will require monitoring in select regions, a WAM report said.

According to the NCM, partly cloudy skies will dominate much of the period, accompanied by low cloud formation over islands and parts of western areas.
These conditions may be coupled with light rainfall at times, particularly during the early part of the forecast window. While rainfall is expected to remain light, the presence of humidity overnight and during early morning hours could lead to fog or mist formation, potentially affecting road and air travel during peak hours.
Winds are forecast to remain mostly light to moderate, becoming occasionally active during the daytime, particularly over northern areas. Wind speeds are expected to range between 15 and 25 km/hr, with gusts reaching up to 40 km/hr at times. Sea conditions are also expected to remain manageable, with moderate to slight conditions in the Arabian Gulf and slight conditions in the Sea of Oman, supporting continued maritime operations.
