The National Centre of Meteorology (NCM) has released a detailed five-day weather forecast covering the period from Saturday, September 20, to Wednesday, September 24, 2025. The forecast indicates humid mornings with potential fog, mostly clear to partly cloudy conditions, development of convective clouds, and dusty winds across several areas in the UAE. This information was disseminated in a report from WAM, highlighting the anticipated meteorological patterns for the upcoming days.

According to the NCM, the weather during this period will be influenced by a combination of weak surface pressure systems alongside an extension of high pressure in the upper atmosphere, which will likely dictate the regional weather behavior throughout this timeframe.
Saturday, Sept 20: Partly cloudy with rising humidity
The weather in the UAE on Saturday is expected to be fair to partly cloudy, with increased cloud formation in the eastern regions later in the day.
Overnight humidity will rise and continue into Sunday morning, especially in coastal and interior regions, leading to possible fog or mist development.
Light to moderate winds will occasionally strengthen during the daytime, causing dust to be blown. Wind speeds are predicted to be between 10-25 km/h, with occasional peaks reaching 40 km/h, flowing from the southeast to northeast.
Temperature expectations:
- Coastal and island areas: Highs of 37-41°C, lows of 27-31°C, humidity around 70-90%
- Inland areas: Highs of 42-45°C, lows of 25-29°C, humidity between 60-80%
- Mountain regions: Highs of 28-33°C, lows of 22-26°C, humidity at 65-85%
Sunday, Sept 21: Ongoing cloud development and humid nights
On Sunday, the weather will continue to be fair to partly cloudy, with further chances of convective cloud formation in the eastern areas, which could lead to some rainfall in the afternoon.
Humidity is expected to rise overnight leading into Monday, increasing the potential for fog or mist across both inland and coastal zones.
Winds will remain from southeast to northeast at 10-25 km/h, occasionally reaching 40 km/h, and may lead to some dust lifting. Conditions in the Arabian Gulf and the Oman Sea are projected to be slightly calm.
Monday, Sept 22: Fog risk persists
The forecast for Monday suggests partly cloudy skies with possible cloud development in eastern areas during afternoon hours. High humidity will continue overnight into early morning, raising the likelihood of fog or mist, particularly in inland regions.
Winds will generally flow from southeast to northeast at 10-25 km/h, with some gusts reaching 35 km/h. The Arabian Gulf could see slight to moderate seas, while the Oman Sea is expected to remain calm.
Tuesday, Sept 23: Expected decrease in temperatures
Tuesday’s conditions will stay fair to partly cloudy, with a gradual decrease in temperatures anticipated. Humidity is likely to rise overnight into Wednesday morning, especially in the interior areas, which may lead to ongoing fog or mist risks.
Wind directions will shift from southwesterly to northwesterly, blowing at 10-25 km/h, with gusts potentially hitting 40 km/h. The Arabian Gulf will experience slight to moderate seas, while the Oman Sea conditions are expected to stay mild.
Wednesday, Sept 24: Rougher seas and windy conditions
On Wednesday, skies will remain fair to partly cloudy, with low cloud cover forming in northern and eastern regions. Winds will shift to the northwest, blowing at speeds of 10-25 km/h, with gusts reaching up to 40 km/h, potentially kicking up dust in exposed locations.
Maritime conditions will become more unstable, with the Arabian Gulf experiencing moderate to rough seas, while the Oman Sea will vary between slight and moderate.
