As residents prepare to celebrate the long weekend for UAE National Day, what can we expect from the weather? With mild temperatures during the day and cool conditions at night and early morning, outdoor venues are likely to be popular for Eid Al Etihad celebrations. However, those planning to venture out should be aware of the possibility of light rainfall from November 30 to December 3, and take necessary precautions.
UAE authorities have issued guidelines for National Day to ensure safe and enjoyable festivities during the year's final long weekend. The weather is forecasted to be partly cloudy with increased low-cloud cover over some areas, particularly in the north and east, as well as coastal regions and islands. This could result in light rain, according to the National Centre of Meteorology. Temperatures may dip as low as 9°C in mountainous areas and rise to 29°C in internal regions.
Holidays have been announced for December 2 and 3 for both government and private sector employees, creating a 4-day weekend for most residents and a 5-day weekend in Sharjah. With pleasant weather, residents can take advantage of reduced rates for staycations at beach properties and resorts, with prices starting from Dh480 per night on various booking platforms. Fireworks will illuminate the skies amidst mild temperatures and fresh breezes, while outdoor areas will be adorned with the national colors.
The official ceremony, featuring the country's leaders, will take place in the 'breathtaking' city of Al Ain. From November 30 to December 3, nights and early mornings will see increased humidity. Fresh winds will blow, sometimes strong, and from December 2, moderate to fresh winds will prevail. The sea will be very rough to rough initially, transitioning to rough to moderate by UAE National Day, and then moderate to slight by December 3 in the Arabian Gulf. In the Oman Sea, conditions will be rough to moderate, becoming moderate to slight by December 2.
