emirates7 - September 23 marks the official arrival of autumn in the UAE, signaling the gradual retreat of the intense summer heat. While the shift in weather will not be immediate, the autumnal equinox—when the sun crosses the celestial equator—serves as a key astronomical milestone, ushering in cooler conditions and longer nights across the Northern Hemisphere.

In recent days, the transition has already become noticeable. Daytime highs have dipped below 40°C across much of the country. Coastal and island regions are recording temperatures between 34°C and 37°C, while eastern areas are seeing even cooler conditions ranging from 29°C to 34°C.

The seasonal change is also reflected in shifting wind patterns. The southeasterly winds typical of summer are now being replaced by cooler northwesterly breezes. These winds, though occasionally stirring up dust, bring the chance of light rain that helps clear the air and improve visibility.

According to the forecast, Tuesday’s conditions will remain fair to partly cloudy, with more clouds expected in eastern and southern areas. Rising nighttime humidity may lead to mist or fog in inland regions during the early morning hours.

At sea, conditions will be slight to moderate, with the Arabian Gulf turning rougher by evening, while the Oman Sea is expected to stay slight. Overall, residents can anticipate a steady cooling trend in the weeks ahead as autumn firmly sets in.
