UAE Faces Unstable Weather This Week, NCM Predicts Less Severity Than April

The National Centre of Meteorology (NCM) has issued a forecast for potentially unstable weather conditions across parts of the UAE later this week. However, the NCM assures residents that the upcoming weather is expected to be “less severe” compared to the storms experienced in April.

Less Intense Conditions Expected

According to NCM forecasts, the unsettled weather is anticipated to start Wednesday night in western regions. It will then gradually spread eastward, potentially impacting most areas by Thursday. Temperatures are also expected to drop significantly during this period. The focus of the unstable weather is predicted to be in western, coastal, and some eastern regions of the UAE.

Authorities Prepared for Potential Impacts

The National Emergency, Crisis and Disaster Management Authority (NCEMA) held a meeting on Tuesday to ensure preparedness for the upcoming weather. The meeting, headed by the Undersecretary of the Ministry of Interior, confirmed NCEMA’s readiness to address any potential challenges arising from the unstable conditions.

Dubai Schools Move to Online Learning
