The UAE is beginning its transition into autumn, with September bringing the first signs of relief from summer’s intense heat. Meteorologists say residents can expect cooler evenings, early morning fog, and occasional light rain across parts of the country in the coming weeks.
According to the National Center of Meteorology, daytime temperatures will remain in the low to mid-30s°C, but nights are set to become noticeably milder as humidity levels rise. The combination of warm seas and cooler nights is expected to produce fog and mist at dawn, particularly in coastal and inland areas.
Weather Highlights for September
- Fog Formation: Increased humidity will result in patchy fog and reduced visibility during early mornings.
- Occasional Showers: Convective cloud activity could bring scattered rainfall, especially over eastern and interior regions.
- Shifting Winds: Night winds are forecast from the southeast, turning northwesterly during the day, occasionally carrying dust.
- Milder Nights: Gradual cooling after sunset is expected to offer residents a more comfortable outdoor environment.
Safety Advisory
Authorities have urged motorists to exercise caution during foggy mornings, when visibility may drop suddenly, particularly on highways and rural roads.
Looking Ahead
The seasonal change will continue to gather pace as the autumnal equinox approaches on September 23, formally marking the end of summer. Forecasters say the weeks ahead will feature more stable conditions, lighter winds, and an increase in outdoor-friendly weather, laying the groundwork for the UAE’s peak tourism season.
For residents, September is the first reminder that the long summer is giving way to cooler months — a transition welcomed by families, commuters, and businesses alike.
