DUBAI, UAE – The National Centre of Meteorology (NCM) has issued a high-priority advisory as Dubai enters a period of unstable weather. From Monday, March 23, to Friday, March 27, 2026, the emirate is expected to see a significant shift in atmospheric conditions.
This is more than just a forecast; it is a call for heightened awareness, preparation, and responsible behavior across the community.
What to Expect: Rain, Wind, and Waves
The current weather system is expected to bring intermittent activity across the city, with conditions varying by district:
- Rainfall: Expect intermittent rain of varying intensity. Some areas may experience heavy downpours accompanied by lightning and thunder.
- Wind Speeds: Variable winds are forecast to reach up to 50 km/h. This may lead to dust haze and significantly reduced visibility on open roads.
- Sea Conditions: While currently light to moderate, waves in the Arabian Gulf and Sea of Oman may become rough during peak cloud activity.
Essential Safety Guidelines
