Groundhog day...

So since we have been here, since the 30th of august, the weather has been the same. You wake up, and guess what... it's sunny. Next day the same... I told the hubby it's like groundhog day here. Everyday, sunny.

I kind of would like some change every now and again, a little rain? I'm not asking for hurricanes again, not by any means. But who doesn't like to sit and read a good book with the rain outside?
So last week we had some fog... and i have to say, i'm a little concerned now. I may not want groundhog day to end... but today in the headlines, and i do mean headlines... watch out people! It may rain!!!! Now one would think this would be like crazy downpours. No, slight to moderate rain makes the headlines. Mostly because these people can't drive in anything but groundhog day weather. It's frightening! So when the rain comes, which i guess i might have to go buy an umbrella? I shall be white-knucling the steering wheel in the slow lane with all the other frightened expats. Cross your fingers!

Unstable weather expected in UAE from Sunday evening


Dubai: Unstable weather conditions and rough sea has been forecasted by the officials, from Sunday evening until end of the week.

The National Center of Meteorology and Seismology (NCMS) issued a warning to motorists to be extra cautious while on the road since low visibility is expected in addition to slippery roads due to rain.

After UAE was swept through by the southern and south-eastern winds on Saturday, forecasters expect the north-western winds to bring in more instability on Sunday evening.

Southern and South-eastern winds blew across the country on Saturday kicking up dust especially in open areas in the western region, leading to low visibility in many areas. The visibility in Jebel Ali, for instance, came down to 3000 metres. The temperature increased from 2 to 6 degree Celsius. The wind speed led to waves at seas going up to 5 feet high.

Forecasters expect the winds to recede by Sunday, however on Sunday evening the north-western winds will bring in a cold spell.

“The weather will be unstable in the country until end of the week”, NCMS said in a statement.

It will be cloudy and showers are expected in the northern areas. Slight to moderate rain is forecasted with highest amount of rain in coastal areas and islands. The clouds will continue to increase.

The highest amount of rain is expected on Tuesday.

There will be a gradual decrease in temperature across the country. Nights will be colder comparatively.
