The UAE National Center of Meteorology has forecast varying weather conditions across the country from February 2 through February 6, 2026. According to a statement issued on February 1, the UAE weather forecast indicates residents can expect a mix of humidity, clear to partly cloudy skies, occasional active winds, and chances of fog and light rainfall in some areas during this period.
The center detailed that Sunday morning will bring humid conditions with a chance of fog or light fog forming over some coastal areas. Weather will then transition to clear or partly cloudy with low clouds appearing over coastal and eastern regions. Winds are expected to shift from southeasterly to northwesterly, ranging from light to moderate speeds between 10 and 20 km/h, potentially reaching 30 km/h. Sea conditions will remain slight in both the Arabian Gulf and the Sea of Oman.
Midweek Weather Patterns and Rainfall Chances
Tuesday will continue the humid pattern with morning fog or light fog likely over some inland and coastal areas, the center said. Clear to partly cloudy conditions will persist with low clouds over eastern regions. Wind patterns will shift from southeasterly to northeasterly at light to moderate speeds, maintaining the 10 to 20 km/h range with gusts up to 30 km/h.
Wednesday brings a notable change in the weather outlook. The center expects humid morning conditions with light fog possible over inland areas, particularly western regions. However, the weather will gradually shift to partly cloudy with clouds appearing over northern and eastern areas, accompanied by a chance of light rain. Winds will become more active, turning from southeasterly to northwesterly at light to moderate speeds that may intensify at times, reaching up to 35 km/h. The Arabian Gulf may experience slight to moderate waves.
Temperature Drop Expected Thursday
Thursday’s forecast indicates humid morning conditions over some western areas with partly to occasionally cloudy skies over northern and eastern regions. Additionally, there is a chance of rainfall with a noticeable temperature drop expected over some western coastal areas, according to the meteorological center. Winds will shift to northwesterly or northeasterly directions, occasionally becoming active with speeds between 10 and 20 km/h, potentially reaching 35 km/h. Sea conditions may occasionally become rough in both the Arabian Gulf and the Sea of Oman.
Meanwhile, Friday will see a return to morning humidity with possible light fog formation over some areas, especially western regions. The day will remain clear to partly cloudy with low clouds appearing over eastern areas. Wind speeds will moderate, ranging from southeasterly to northeasterly at 10 to 20 km/h, with maximum gusts of 30 km/h. Sea conditions will calm to slight waves across both maritime areas.
Understanding the UAE Weather Forecast Patterns
The varying atmospheric conditions reflect typical early February weather patterns in the Emirates, characterized by fluctuating humidity levels and transitional wind systems. In contrast to more stable periods, this week’s forecast shows the dynamic interplay between different air masses affecting the region. The potential for fog formation remains a consideration for morning commuters, particularly in coastal and western inland areas.
The meteorological center’s detailed predictions provide residents and visitors with essential information for planning outdoor activities and travel arrangements. The forecast wind speeds and sea conditions are particularly relevant for maritime operations and coastal activities throughout the week.
Authorities have not confirmed whether any weather warnings will be issued, though conditions are expected to remain generally manageable. Residents should monitor updates from the National Center of Meteorology as conditions may evolve, particularly regarding the rainfall chances and fog formation predicted for midweek.
