With the time for warm clothes officially on us, cool winds are blowing, and the mercury is dropping to low levels. UAE recorded a temperature of 7.1°C in Raknah (Al Ain) at 06.45am, its lowest temperature for today.
Why Raknah? This area in Al Ain often records low temperatures. Along with the special topography including wadis, trees, and dunes, even the sand in Raknah is different, Dr Ahmed Habib from NCM said in an earlier interview with Khaleej Times.

"As the air mass moves from higher to lower elevations, it cools down, causing a temperature drop," he explained.

Do you need to keep an umbrella handy? Earlier, NCM predicted rainfall from December 23 until December 28 noon, resulting from the "extended low-pressure system moving in from the southeast, originating in the Arabian Sea.”
According to the traditional Arabian Gulf calendar, the winter season is divided into two main periods: “Arba in Al Merei” and “Arba in Al Aqrabi,” each lasting 40 days. “Arba in Al Merei” starts around December 28, marked by intense cold and rainfall.
"While the winter season generally brings a higher chance of rain, the actual occurrence depends on the specific atmospheric conditions at the time," Habib earlier told Khaleej Times.
