DUBAI(The COW News Digital) Rainfall across parts of the United Arab Emirates has brought a noticeable drop in temperatures, marking a shift to colder weather conditions in several key cities, including Dubai and Abu Dhabi.
According to Emirati media reports, intermittent rain showers were recorded in both Dubai and the capital Abu Dhabi, leading to cooler conditions, particularly during the evening and night hours. In Dubai, nighttime temperatures dropped to around 16 degrees Celsius, offering residents a rare taste of winter-like weather.
The rain also affected coastal areas, where strong winds accompanied the showers, reducing visibility in some locations. Weather authorities noted that the combination of rain, wind, and falling temperatures has made conditions significantly cooler compared to recent days.
Meteorological officials have forecast the possibility of further rainfall and fog across different parts of the country in the coming days. Fog is expected to develop mainly during early morning hours, especially in coastal and low-lying regions, which could impact road visibility.

In light of the changing weather, authorities have issued safety advisories for motorists. Drivers have been urged to exercise caution, reduce speed, and maintain safe distances, particularly on wet roads where the risk of skidding is higher. Officials warned that rain in urban centers such as Dubai could disrupt traffic flow during peak hours.
Emergency services and traffic management teams have been placed on alert to respond quickly to any weather-related incidents. Residents were also advised to stay updated through official weather bulletins and avoid unnecessary travel during periods of heavy rain or fog.
The cooler weather has been welcomed by many residents, as the UAE typically experiences mild winters compared to other regions. However, officials stressed that sudden weather changes can pose risks if precautions are not taken seriously.
Experts note that winter rain in the UAE, while not uncommon, can still have a significant impact due to infrastructure designed primarily for dry conditions. Even light rainfall can lead to congestion and minor flooding in some areas.
As the country experiences fluctuating winter weather patterns, authorities reiterated the importance of preparedness and public awareness. With more rain and fog potentially on the way, residents are advised to plan travel carefully and remain vigilant.
