ABU DHABI (ALETIHAD)

The National Center of Meteorology has issued the November climate summary for the UAE.

According to the weather forecast, November is considered among the second transitional period; this month is characterised by mild daytime temperatures and a decrease during night, as the maximum and minimum temperatures are 4-6 degrees lower compared to October as a result of the apparent movement of the sun towards the south away from the region.

Fall in temperatures

The country is affected gradually during this month by the extension of Siberian high pressure system towards the region, especially during the second half of the month, which leads to a continued decrease in temperatures, and temperatures tend to cool sometimes, especially at night on mountainous areas and some interior regions.

Windy, rainy

The prevailing winds during this month are southeasterly during mornings becoming westerly to northwesterly during daytimes. Wind speed may freshen at times during this month especially during storms

Relative humidity increases especially during early morning as a result of the passage of moderate air masses over the Arabian Gulf towards the country, which enhance chances of formation of Fog/Mist especially over coastal areas.

Some air pressure systems associated with cold air masses in upper air layers also cross the region, which may lead to clouds formation and rain, the intensity of rain increases with development of cumulus clouds causing fresh to strong winds and dust/sand.
