The National Center of Meteorology has forecast generally clear to partly cloudy conditions across the United Arab Emirates today, Sunday, August 23, 2026, with a chance of convective clouds developing over eastern areas during the afternoon.

These clouds may be accompanied by rainfall, according to the official weather forecast, while conditions are expected to become humid overnight and on Monday morning across some coastal areas.

The forecast also indicates a possibility of light fog forming during the night and early morning hours in some coastal locations, adding another change to the expected weather pattern.

Winds are forecast to remain light to moderate in speed, although they may become stronger at times and raise dust across affected areas, according to the National Center of Meteorology.

Wind speeds are expected to range from 10 to 25 kilometers per hour, with occasional increases reaching 40 kilometers per hour during stronger periods.

Wind directions are expected to range from southeast to northeast, while marine conditions are forecast to remain relatively calm, with slight waves expected in both the Arabian Gulf and the Sea of Oman.

The official marine forecast also includes specific tide and low water times for the Sea of Oman, with the first high tide expected at 07:56 and the second high tide scheduled for 17:50.

The first low tide is expected at 13:30, while the second low tide is scheduled for 01:00, based on the times included in the official forecast.

The National Center of Meteorology had issued a warning yesterday regarding the possibility of convective clouds accompanied by rainfall ranging from light to moderate, with rain potentially becoming heavy at times.

That previous warning covered a period beginning at 13:30 yesterday and continuing until 21:00 on the same day, while the weather situation was expected to extend across several areas.

The center indicated that the earlier weather activity could affect some eastern, southern and western areas, as well as certain inland locations.

The latest forecast continues to highlight the possibility of convective cloud development over eastern areas during the afternoon, with rainfall remaining possible where those clouds form.

Elsewhere, conditions are expected to remain clear to partly cloudy, although humidity is forecast to increase overnight and during Monday morning in some coastal areas.

The National Center of Meteorology continues to monitor the weather pattern through its official forecasts and warnings, particularly as conditions may vary between coastal, eastern and inland areas.

The expected rainfall remains associated with the development of convective clouds, making the eastern areas the main focus of the afternoon forecast.

At the same time, wind activity remains an important element of the weather outlook, with speeds potentially reaching 40 kilometers per hour and the possibility of raised dust.

Marine conditions are expected to remain slight, with light waves forecast across the Arabian Gulf and the Sea of Oman throughout the period covered by the official bulletin.

The official forecast therefore points to generally stable conditions in many areas, alongside localized chances of convective clouds and rainfall during the afternoon.

Residents and followers of the weather forecast can monitor official updates from the National Center of Meteorology as the expected conditions develop during the day.

The latest outlook highlights rainfall chances, humidity, possible light fog and occasional wind strengthening as the main weather developments expected across parts of the United Arab Emirates.
