NCM predicts clear but humid weather in days ahead

ABU DHABI: The National Centre of Meteorology (NCM) expects Monday weather to be generally clear, with the formation of low clouds on the eastern coast in the morning, with a chance of some convective clouds to the east in the aternoon.

The NCM also expected that the weather will be humid at night and on Tuesday morning over some coastal and inland areas, with a chance of fog or light fog formation.

Winds on Monday are expected to be southeasterly to northeasterly and northwesterly, light to moderate, active at times, stirring dust during the day, with a speed of 15 to 30 up to 40 kilometres/hr. The sea is expected to be light to moderate at times in the Arabian Gulf and light in the Sea of Oman.

“The weather on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday will be clear in general and partly cloudy at times, with the appearance of low clouds on the eastern coast in the morning, and a chance of some cumulus rainy clouds to the east in the aternoon,” NCM indicated.

It will also be humid at night on some inland and coastal areas, with the possibility of light fog formation, especially in the west, according to NCM.

Winds are expected to be southeasterly to northeasterly and northwesterly, light to moderate, active at times, stirring dust during the day, at a speed of 15 to 30 up to 40 kilometres/hr.

The sea is expected to be light to moderate at times in the Arabian Gulf and light in the Sea of Oman. A couple of days ago, the NCM had celebrated Arab Meteorological Day, which was held under the theme, “Meteorology is important in our life,” to highlight the importance of meteorology and weather forecasts in peoples’ daily lives. The event highlighted the key role of meteorology in protecting the lives, health and property of people. The centre stressed that Sept.15, 1970, was a milestone in joint Arab action in the field of meteorology, as it witnessed the issuance of an Arab League resolution to establish the Arab Standing Commitee for Meteorology, which aims to unify efforts and goals in this vital sector.
