Where will it rain in the UAE?
The forecast predicts partly cloudy to cloudy skies, with light to moderate rainfall expected, especially in coastal, northern, and eastern regions.
While showers are likely to be scattered, some areas could experience stronger bursts of rain, making for cooler and fresher conditions across the UAE.

For those heading out to sea, waves in the Arabian Gulf and the Oman Sea could become rough at times, particularly during cloud activity.
What’s causing the rain in the UAE?
This bout of wet weather is being driven by an upper-air jet stream from the west, combined with a surface low-pressure system extending from the southwest.
These conditions are leading to increased cloud cover and the possibility of more showers over the next few days.
What to expect?
- Cloudy skies and cooler temperatures
- Light to moderate rainfall in some areas
- Dusty conditions inland due to fresh winds
- Rough seas in the Arabian Gulf and the Oman Sea
While the rain won’t last forever, it’s the perfect excuse to enjoy a cosy café day, a rainy drive, or just a refreshing break from the usual sunshine.
