Authorities have issued a weather alert for the period between December 25 and 29, warning that unstable conditions could affect travel and outdoor activities across parts of the United Arab Emirates during the holiday season. The advisory comes as residents and visitors take advantage of year-end festivities and increased movement across cities.
The image shows a rain-soaked urban street lined with palm trees and high-rise buildings, with low clouds partially obscuring the skyline. Such conditions reflect the expected weather pattern, which includes intermittent rainfall, reduced visibility due to fog and low clouds, and cooler temperatures in several areas.
Meteorological officials cautioned motorists to remain vigilant, particularly during early morning and late-night hours when fog formation is more likely. Wet roads may increase the risk of accidents, and drivers are advised to reduce speed, maintain safe distances, and follow official traffic updates.
The alert also notes that outdoor events, shopping areas, and tourist destinations may see temporary disruptions due to weather fluctuations. Residents planning holiday outings are encouraged to check forecasts regularly and make necessary adjustments to travel plans.
Despite the unsettled conditions, officials emphasized that the weather is seasonal and manageable with proper precautions. Emergency and municipal services remain on standby to respond to any incidents related to rainfall or visibility issues.
The UAE often experiences brief periods of winter rain during December, which help moderate temperatures and refresh the environment. As the holiday period continues, authorities urged the public to prioritize safety while enjoying festive celebrations, reminding residents that preparedness and awareness are key to navigating changing weather conditions smoothly.
