UAE residents can anticipate fair weather, with the skies occasionally cloudy. Clouds are expected to form towards the east by afternoon. Summer concludes today, with the autumn equinox commencing at 4:44 PM. Temperatures are forecasted to gradually decline after today, dipping below 25°C at night and below 40°C during the day.
The weather is also anticipated to be humid during the night and early Monday morning in certain coastal and inland areas. There is a possibility of fog or mist forming during these times. Humidity levels are expected to reach 90% in coastal and inland areas, while it may drop as low as 15% in the mountains.
Light to moderate winds are expected, occasionally freshening. The sea will be calm in the Arabian Gulf and the Oman Sea. The autumn equinox today marks when the Sun is directly over the equator, resulting in equal amounts of sunlight for both the northern and southern hemispheres.
In the UAE, following the equinox, day and night will be of equal length, with nights gradually becoming longer than days as we transition towards the winter season, according to Ibrahim Al Jarwan, board chairman of the Emirates Astronomical Society.
