The weather conditions are expected to persist over the weekend, with the UAE facing the impact of a surface depression extending from the southwest. This depression, coupled with upper-level atmospheric disturbances and westerly air currents, is anticipated to bring intermittent light to moderate rainfall, potentially heavy in some regions. The northern, eastern, and coastal areas are likely to experience the heaviest rainfall, accompanied by a drop in temperatures.
For Saturday, the weather forecast indicates a mix of clear to partly cloudy skies, with increasing cloud cover expected in coastal and northern areas by nightfall. Light rainfall is anticipated on Sunday morning, with a subsequent rise in temperatures and moderate northwesterly to northeasterly winds, ranging from 10 to 30 kilometers per hour.
