UAE braces for rain, blowing dust and winds reaching 50km/h on Saturday

## Weather Forecast for Saturday

The UAE is set to experience unstable weather conditions on Saturday, with forecasts predicting rain, blowing dust, and winds reaching up to 50 km/h. The National Centre of Meteorology has indicated that convective clouds will develop over eastern, southern, and western regions in the afternoon, increasing the likelihood of rainfall.

## Temperature and Wind Conditions

Temperatures are expected to rise, with internal areas potentially reaching 48°C, while coastal and island areas may see highs of 43°C. Mountain regions could experience temperatures up to 37°C. Winds will vary from light to moderate but may intensify significantly near cloud formations, potentially reaching 50 km/h inland, 45 km/h in mountainous areas, and 40 km/h along the coast.

## Impact on Visibility and Humidity

The strong winds are likely to stir up dust and sand, reducing visibility, especially near developing clouds. Humidity levels are expected to increase overnight and into Sunday morning, particularly in some western regions.

## Extended Weather Outlook

The chance of rain persists into Sunday, with convective clouds forming over eastern areas in the afternoon. The weather will remain fair to partly cloudy, with humidity increasing overnight. Winds could reach 40 km/h, causing blowing dust. Similar weather patterns are expected on Tuesday and Wednesday, with potential rainfall and winds reaching up to 45 km/h.
