Dubai: Residents can expect a drop in temperature and foggy conditions over the next three days, forecasters said.

The forecaster, however, clarified that the drop in temperature will happen during the hottest time of the day between 2pm and 3pm. So, if the maximum temperature in the coastal area on Sunday was between 30C to 35C, it will now be between 30C to 31C. Internal areas will now have 33C to 35C and the mountain areas will have relatively cooler weather of between of 24C and 28C.
“All in all, we will see a drop in temperatures of about 5C over the next three days,” the forecaster said.
The gradual drop in temperature will continue until winter comes in December.
The forecaster said that there are some fluctuations in the weather on some days when certain afternoons were strangely hot compared to other days, especially last week. The forecaster said this is due to the wind pattern affecting the country.
Meanwhile, NCMS urged motorists to drive with caution early in the morning over the next three days as fog could reduce visibility to 500 metres in internal and western areas such as Abu Dhabi and going towards Al Ruwais and Sila.
The Arabian Gulf will be moderate but will be rough to very rough from Monday night.
