UAE weather: Will it rain in the country this week?
The National Center of Meteorology has issued its five-day weather forecast, indicating continued summer heat across the UAE with intervals of humidity, occasional clouds, and a chance of light rainfall in some areas.
Today: Hot with possible rain clouds
An extension of a surface low-pressure system from the East, along with a weak upper air low-pressure system, is influencing the region. The weather today will remain fair to partly cloudy, with a chance of convective cloud development in the eastern and southern areas, which may lead to light rainfall. Temperatures will see a slight increase, and the night and early morning hours on Tuesday will be humid in coastal and internal areas, raising the possibility of mist formation.

Winds will remain light to moderate, freshening at times during the day and stirring up blowing dust. The sea will be slight in both the Arabian Gulf and the Oman Sea.
Temperature snapshot:
Coastal areas: 40–45°C highs, 28–33°C lows
Internal areas: 44–49°C highs, 27–32°C lows
Mountain areas: 33–39°C highs, 25–29°C lows
Looking ahead: Gradual cooling and persistent humidity
Tuesday, 22 July:
Expect fair to partly cloudy conditions, with clouds possibly forming eastward and southward by the afternoon. Humidity will increase during the night and into Wednesday morning, with mist likely along the coast. Winds will shift from southeasterly to northwesterly, with speeds of 10–25 km/h, reaching 35 km/hr at times.
Wednesday, 23 July:
The day will remain fair to partly cloudy, with low clouds appearing in the east and a slight drop in temperatures, particularly along the coast and western regions. Nighttime and early Thursday will be humid, with the potential for fog or mist across coastal and internal areas. Winds will vary from southwesterly to northwesterly, occasionally freshening and causing blowing dust, with speeds reaching up to 40 km/hr.
Thursday, 24 July:
Expect fair to partly cloudy skies with clouds moving in from the east by the afternoon. Humid conditions will continue overnight and into Friday morning, bringing the chance of fog or mist. Winds will be southeasterly, shifting to northwesterly and northeasterly, with speeds of 10–25 km/hr and gusts up to 40 km/hr.
Friday, 25 July:
The forecast remains fair to partly cloudy, with afternoon cloud development in the east. Humidity will persist overnight and into Saturday morning, with mist likely in western regions. Winds will be southeasterly, turning northwesterly and northeasterly, with speeds similar to the preceding days.
Throughout the week, the sea conditions will stay slight in the Arabian Gulf and the Oman Sea, making it safe for marine activities, though caution is advised during periods of freshening winds.

Unusual weather system to bring clouds and rain to UAE
Image: Getty Images The National Center of Meteorology (NCM) has issued a detailed forecast warning of unusual summer weather conditions across the UAE from July 25 to 28, 2025. The rare weather event is being attributed to the influence of the Inter-Tropical Convergence Zone (ITCZ), a key global weather driver that appears to be shifting due to climate change. The ITCZ—where trade winds from the northern and southern hemispheres converge—is known for triggering heavy rainfall and dense cloud cover. According to global climate models and recent NOAA (National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration) research, the zone's movement plays a critical role in tropical weather systems. While the ITCZ typically remains south of the Gulf during summer, the latest forecast highlights its abnormal northward expansion, bringing upper-air low pressure, cloud formation, and isolated rain to the UAE. الحالة الجوية المتوقعة من الجمعة 25 إلى الإثنين 28 يوليو 2025 The expected weather from Friday, 25 to Monday, 28 July 2025 — المركز الوطني للأرصاد (@ncmuae) This rare extension of low pressure in the upper atmosphere, combined with the interaction of northeasterly and westerly winds, is expected to result in rainy areas and cloud development across parts of the country, the NCM stated.

NCM: Rainfall expected in parts of UAE until July 28
The National Centre of Meteorology (NCM) has issued a weather alert, forecasting rainfall of varying intensity in parts of the UAE through Monday, 28 July. According to the NCM, convective clouds are expected to form over eastern and southern areas of the country, with chances of some areas experiencing hail, lightning and thunder. The weather is attributed to the influence of the Intertropical Convergence Zone (ITCZ) moving northward, along with low-pressure systems and humid air masses from the Arabian Sea and the Sea of Oman. These conditions, combined with rising daytime temperatures and mountainous terrain, are increasing the likelihood of rainstorms. Winds are expected to be southeasterly to northeasterly, moderate to strong at times, particularly near convective clouds. Blowing dust and sand may reduce visibility in affected areas. The sea is expected to be slightly rough in both the Arabian Gulf and the Sea of Oman, the NCM added. الحالة الجوية المتوقعة من الجمعة 25 إلى الإثنين 28 يوليو 2025 #حالة_جوية #حالة الطقس #الإمارات #المركز_الوطني_للأرصاد The expected weather from Friday, 25 to Monday, 28 July 2025 #WeatherCondition #Weather #UAE #NationalCenterOfMeteorology — المركز الوطني للأرصاد (@ncmuae) July 24, 2025

Dust, Clouds, and Fog Expected: UAE Weather Update, July 24, 2025
A surface low-pressure system from the East, along with a weak upper air low-pressure extension, is influencing today's weather across the UAE. Expect fair to partly cloudy skies, with some convective cloud formations likely in the eastern regions, which may bring rainfall. Expect Fog and Mist Overnight Humidity levels will rise tonight and into Friday morning, increasing the probability of fog or mist, especially in coastal and inland areas. Visibility may be reduced during early hours, so motorists should remain cautious. Temperatures Remain Scorching Humidity levels vary from 65% to 90% across the country, adding to the heat discomfort. Winds and Sea Conditions Winds will be light to moderate, occasionally freshening to 35 km/h, coming from southeasterly to northwesterly directions. Blowing dust may affect visibility during the day. The sea remains slight in both the Arabian Gulf and Oman Sea, making it generally safe for marine activities.
