The month of March will mark the end of winter season in the UAE as temperatures are expected to increase gradually — especially during the second half — according to weather forecasters.
The National Centre of Meteorology (NCM) on Wednesday released the climate summary report for March, saying: “March is considered to be the last month of winter and temperatures start to increase especially during the second half of the month.
"March 21 is taken to mark geographically the first day of spring equinox when the sun's direct rays are perpendicular to equator and then the apparent motion of the sun moves north.”
This month, the country will still be affected by westerly waves passing across the north of Arabian Gulf — which, at times, may cause "unstable weather conditions accompanied by cumulo-nimbus clouds, rain and fresh to strong wind leading to widespread dust”, said the report.
According to the forecasters, there will also be southeasterly to southwesterly winds during late nights and mornings — changing to northwesterly to northeasterly during the afternoon and evening due to sea breeze and land breeze circulation.
Humidity will decrease slightly during March compared to February, especially during the second half of the month. Mean relative humidity will be 51 percent with chances of fog/mist formation over scattered parts of the country.
