Friday 6 November 2026 brings a chance of rain, strong winds and warm, humid air to the UAE. The National Centre of Meteorology, known as the NCM, forecasts fair to partly cloudy weather in general, with convective clouds forming over eastern and northern areas in the afternoon. Those clouds may bring rainfall to some parts of the country. At the same time, winds could reach 40 km per hour and stir up blowing dust. This guide brings the full forecast together in one place, with the rain chances, the temperatures, the wind, the sea and the week ahead.
All forecast details in this article come from the NCM, as reported by Khaleej Times, Gulf News and Emirates 24/7 on Friday morning. The forecast covers today, Friday 6 November, and the outlook through Tuesday 10 November. It also explains what drivers should watch out for on wet and dusty roads, and what else is happening in the UAE this week. In fact, the country is in the middle of a busy events season, with Dubai Design Week, the Sharjah International Book Fair and Diwali celebrations all running this week.
What is the forecast for Friday 6 November?
The NCM forecast for Friday 6 November 2026 is fair to partly cloudy weather in general across the UAE. Convective cloud formation is likely over eastern and northern areas, and it may be associated with rainfall. The NCM expects a chance of rainfall in some areas, mainly in the afternoon. The rest of the country should stay dry, with cloud and humidity instead of rain. Temperatures will stay warm, with Dubai reaching 35 degrees and Abu Dhabi reaching 36 degrees. Humidity could climb to 90 per cent in coastal and inland areas. Winds will be light to moderate at first, then freshen at times.
The forecast for today is part of a longer unsettled spell that has shaped the weather for several days. Similar conditions should follow on Saturday, with further rain chances in the east. The outlook then settles a little by Sunday, when the NCM has not forecast rain. The rest of this guide looks at each element of the forecast in turn, starting with where the rain could fall today.
Where could rain fall today?
Rain today is most likely in the east and north of the UAE. The NCM expects convective clouds to form eastward and northward by the afternoon, and those clouds may bring rainfall to those areas. The eastern mountains help clouds to build, and that is why the east sees rain more often than the coast. The rain should fall in scattered showers rather than spreading right across the country. Some neighbourhoods could see a short shower, while nearby areas stay dry. The showers should arrive in the afternoon, when the heat of the day helps clouds to rise and grow.
The rain chances do not stop with today. Gulf News reports that the NCM expects similar conditions on Saturday, with rain-bearing clouds again over eastern areas in the afternoon. Emirates 24/7 reports that convective clouds are also expected in Fujairah and Kalba on Saturday and Sunday. In other words, today is not a one-off wet day. It is part of a spell of unsettled weather that should last until Saturday, with Sunday looking drier. The week-ahead table later in this guide sets out each day in full.
How much rain should you expect?
Readers should keep the rain chances in proportion. The forecast speaks of a chance of rain, not a certainty, and no outlet reports heavy rain or flooding for today. The showers are likely to be light and short, if they come at all. Even so, a sudden shower can catch people out, especially those with outdoor plans in the east and north. A light rain jacket or an umbrella is a sensible precaution in those areas today. Drivers in the east should also watch for wet roads in the afternoon. Rain on dry, dusty roads can make the surface slippery at first. Slowing down and keeping a safe distance will help.
It is worth remembering what a rain chance means in the UAE. The NCM speaks of a chance of rainfall from convective clouds in the afternoon. That means short showers in some places, while other areas stay dry. The east and north of the country have the best chance of rain today. The west and the coast are more likely to stay dry, with cloud and humidity instead. People in Dubai and Abu Dhabi should watch for wind and dust first, and rain second. The NCM has published no rainfall amounts for today, so this guide gives none. The rest of this guide covers the temperatures, the wind, the sea and the outlook for the days ahead.
How strong will the wind be?
Winds today will be light to moderate in general. The NCM forecasts south-easterly winds at first, becoming north-easterly during the day. Wind speeds should reach 10 to 25 km per hour, with gusts to 40 km per hour at times. The wind may freshen at times, especially in the afternoon and in areas near cloud activity. The NCM also warns that the wind could cause blowing dust when clouds build. Drivers should keep an eye on the wind when cloud builds in the afternoon, because gusts and dust can arrive with the showers.
The wind will strengthen later in the week. Gulf News reports that winds could reach 35 km per hour on Saturday, and 40 km per hour on Monday, particularly over the sea. By Tuesday, north-westerly winds could reach 45 km per hour at times, with blowing dust possible over land. In short, today is only the start of a windy spell. Drivers should keep an eye on the wind forecast for the weekend, especially if they plan a long drive. Dust is a familiar hazard in the UAE, and it often comes with strong winds and cloud activity. Keeping windows closed and headlights on can help in dusty conditions.
What will the sea be like today?
The sea will be slight to moderate at times in the Arabian Gulf today. Khaleej Times reports that forecast from the NCM, with a slight sea in the Oman Sea. Gulf News gives a slightly different picture, and it describes the sea as slight in both seas. The small difference between the two reports is normal, because sea forecasts can vary a little between outlets. In general, today brings calm conditions on the water, with no rough seas expected on either coast. The slight sea is good news for beachgoers and for fishing boats. It also means that ferries and water taxis along the coast should operate normally.
The sea will turn rougher later in the week. On Saturday, the sea will stay slight in both the Arabian Gulf and the Oman Sea, so the weekend should stay calm on the water. On Monday, the Arabian Gulf will be slight to moderate, and it will become rough by the afternoon. By Tuesday, the Gulf could be rough to very rough at times, while the Oman Sea turns moderate to rough. In short, today is one of the calmest days for the sea this week, and conditions will stay gentle through the weekend. People who plan a boat trip on Monday or Tuesday should check the latest marine forecast first.
How warm will it get today?
Temperatures will stay warm across the UAE today, despite the arrival of November. Dubai should reach 35 degrees, while Abu Dhabi should reach 36 degrees and Sharjah should reach 35 degrees. Night-time lows will be much more comfortable than the daytime highs, and the evening should feel pleasant for a walk. All three cities should fall to 24 degrees tonight. Gulf News reports wider ranges for each type of area. Coastal areas and islands should reach 33 to 36 degrees, inland areas could reach up to 38 degrees, and mountainous regions will stay cooler, at 23 to 31 degrees.
The warm days are typical for the season. November brings relief from the summer heat, but daytime temperatures in the mid-30s are still normal. The humidity is what makes the air feel warmer than the temperature suggests. With humidity climbing to 90 per cent in coastal and inland areas, the afternoon can feel sticky. For that reason, outdoor exercise is best kept to the early morning or the evening, when temperatures are lower and the air feels fresher. People who work outdoors should drink water regularly and take breaks in the shade.
What are the temperatures in each city?
The table below gives the temperatures for the main cities and areas, as reported from the NCM forecast. The figures are the maximum and minimum temperatures expected today, Friday 6 November 2026. Readers should note that the NCM published its forecast as ranges for each type of area, rather than a single figure for every city. Dubai, Abu Dhabi and Sharjah have single figures, while the wider areas have ranges. The low temperatures are for tonight and the early hours of Saturday morning. The table is a useful guide for planning the day, from the morning school run to an evening walk.
| City or area | Maximum temperature | Minimum temperature |
|---|---|---|
| Dubai | 35 degrees | 24 degrees |
| Abu Dhabi | 36 degrees | 24 degrees |
| Sharjah | 35 degrees | 24 degrees |
| Coastal areas and islands | 33 to 36 degrees | Not stated |
| Inland areas | Up to 38 degrees | Not stated |
| Mountainous regions | 23 to 31 degrees | Not stated |
How humid will it feel today?
Humidity is the other number to watch today. The NCM expects maximum relative humidity to climb to 90 per cent in coastal and inland areas. High humidity makes the air feel warmer than the temperature suggests. It also helps fog and mist to form overnight, when the air cools and the moisture in it condenses. People who spend time outdoors should drink water regularly and take breaks in the shade. The heat is not extreme for the UAE, but the humidity can still cause discomfort, especially in the afternoon. For that reason, the evening is a better time for a walk or a run than the middle of the day.
Humidity will stay high through the week. The NCM expects humidity to build up overnight, and mist is possible on some mornings over most coastal areas. In fact, the humidity is the thread that links the mist, the cloud and the rain chances together. Warm, moist air feeds the convective clouds in the afternoon, and it condenses into mist at night. Until the low-pressure system moves away, residents should expect sticky air and misty starts on some mornings. A light jacket is rarely needed in the evening, because the nights stay warm, with lows of 24 degrees in the big cities.
What is behind this unsettled spell?
The unsettled weather is driven by a weak surface low-pressure system, accompanied by an extension of a weak upper-air low-pressure system. Gulf News reports that this setup is influencing conditions across the UAE. A low-pressure system pulls air upwards, and that rising air cools and forms clouds. When the air is also humid, the clouds can grow tall enough to produce rain. The surface low sits close to the ground, while the upper-air low sits higher in the atmosphere. Together, they create the conditions for convective clouds, which are the tall, puffy clouds that can bring short showers. The effect is strongest in the east and north, where the mountains help the air to rise even further.
Thursday 5 November also started with fog under the same setup. The NCM issued a yellow fog alert until 9am on Thursday, and rain was expected in northern and eastern areas that day. The same low-pressure setup is shaping the weather again today, and it should continue through Saturday, with rain chances each afternoon in the east and north. By Sunday, conditions should settle a little, with fair to partly cloudy skies and no rain forecast. The low-pressure setup is not a storm, and no outlet reports severe weather. It is a mild and slow-moving pattern, and it should pass without major disruption.
How does today compare with Thursday?
Today looks a lot like Thursday, with one clear difference. Thursday 5 November also brought a chance of rain in northern and eastern areas, and the NCM issued a yellow fog alert until 9am. Visibility dropped in parts of the country that morning, and nationwide temperatures ranged from 22 to 38 degrees. Today, the focus shifts from fog to rain and wind. The rain chance is still there, and the east and north should see convective clouds again this afternoon. Readers who want the full picture from yesterday can read the UAE weather update for 5 November.
Thursday also warned of mist on Friday morning, because humidity was expected to build up overnight over most coastal areas. That warning shows how the fog, the humidity and the rain chances are linked. A humid night can bring mist in the morning, and a humid afternoon can bring convective clouds and rain. In short, the two days share the same weather pattern, but today adds stronger wind and blowing dust to the mix. Drivers should still check the latest alert before a long drive, and they should watch the electronic road signs. The limit shown on the sign is the limit in force at that moment.
What happens on Saturday 7 November?
Saturday 7 November keeps the rain chances going, particularly over eastern areas, where convective clouds may develop during the afternoon. The NCM forecasts fair to partly cloudy weather in general, with the rain chance focused on the east. Emirates 24/7 reports that convective clouds are also expected in Fujairah and Kalba on Saturday. The showers should follow the same pattern as Friday, with short bursts of rain in some places and dry weather elsewhere. The east coast and the mountains have the best chance of rain, while Dubai and Abu Dhabi are more likely to stay dry. Winds could reach 35 km per hour, which is a little lower than the gusts expected on Friday. The sea will stay slight in both the Arabian Gulf and the Oman Sea, so the weekend should stay calm on the water.
Saturday is also a busy day for events in the UAE, and the rain chance is worth keeping in mind for anyone with outdoor plans. Dubai Design Week runs until Sunday, and the Sharjah International Book Fair continues through the weekend. The Dubai International Baja also runs through Saturday, with racing in the desert. Global Village has a special offer on Saturday, with free entry for visitors who buy a ticket and visit on Friday 6 November. A short shower should not spoil a day out, but a light rain jacket is a sensible precaution in the east. In general, Saturday looks like a warm and humid day, with cloud building in the afternoon and a chance of rain in the east.
What happens on Sunday 8 November?
Sunday 8 November looks drier than the days before it. The NCM forecasts generally fair to partly cloudy weather, with clouds over some northern and eastern areas. The NCM has not forecast rain for Sunday, which makes it the first dry day after three days of rain chances. Emirates 24/7 reports that convective clouds are still expected in Fujairah and Kalba on Sunday, but no rain is forecast. The break in the wet spell should feel welcome, especially for anyone with outdoor plans. Winds could reach 35 km per hour, and the sea will stay slight in both seas.
Sunday is a big day for events as well as for the weather. Diwali reaches its main day on Sunday 8 November, and families across the UAE will mark the festival of lights. The drier weather is good news for celebrations, and the evening should feel pleasant for a walk. Dubai Design Week also reaches its final day on Sunday, after running since Tuesday. Global Village stays open through the weekend, and its Season 31 runs until May 2027. With no rain forecast, Sunday looks like the best day of the week for a day out.
What happens on Monday 9 November?
Monday 9 November brings a change at sea rather than on land. The NCM forecasts partly cloudy to cloudy weather at times, with south-easterly winds shifting to north-westerly during the day. Winds could reach 40 km per hour, particularly over the sea. The Arabian Gulf will be slight to moderate, and it will become rough by the afternoon. The Oman Sea will stay slight, so the east coast should stay calm. On land, the NCM has not forecast rain for Monday, and the day should stay fair to partly cloudy for most of the time.
The stronger wind over the sea is the main point to watch on Monday. People who plan a boat trip should check the marine forecast first, because the Gulf could turn rough by the afternoon. Beachgoers should also take care, because the wind can pick up quickly near the coast. In general, Monday looks like a calm day on land and a rougher day at sea. The change shows how quickly conditions can shift at sea, even when the land forecast stays calm. Tuesday brings an even stronger wind, and the sea turns rougher still.
What happens on Tuesday 10 November?
Tuesday 10 November brings the strongest wind of the week so far. The NCM expects temperatures to fall as north-westerly winds strengthen, reaching 45 km per hour at times. The strong wind could cause blowing dust over land, so drivers should take care on open roads. The change in wind direction marks a shift in the weather pattern, with cooler air moving in from the north-west. The drop in temperature should feel welcome after several warm and humid days, but the wind and dust will need care.
The sea turns rough on Tuesday as well. The Arabian Gulf could be rough to very rough at times, while the Oman Sea turns moderate to rough. That makes Tuesday the roughest day for the sea in the whole outlook. People who plan a boat trip or a fishing trip should check the latest marine forecast first, and they should think twice about heading out. In short, Tuesday is a day to stay on land if you can, and to keep windows closed if dust is in the air. The week starts wet and unsettled, then turns windy and cooler by Tuesday.
What does the week ahead look like?
The table below brings the whole week together, from today, Friday 6 November, through Tuesday 10 November. It shows the rain chances, the wind and the sea for each day, as forecast by the NCM and reported by Gulf News, Khaleej Times and Emirates 24/7. The pattern is clear at a glance. Rain chances run from Friday to Saturday, mainly in the east and north. Sunday looks dry, and the sea turns rough by Monday afternoon and Tuesday. Readers should treat the table as a guide, because the NCM updates its forecast through the week, and the details can change.
| Day | Weather | Wind | Sea |
|---|---|---|---|
| Friday 6 November | Fair to partly cloudy, chance of rainfall in some areas, convective clouds eastward and northward in the afternoon | Light to moderate, 10 to 25 km per hour, reaching 40 km per hour, blowing dust at times | Slight to moderate at times in the Arabian Gulf, slight in the Oman Sea |
| Saturday 7 November | Fair to partly cloudy, convective clouds over eastern areas in the afternoon, possible rain | Reaching 35 km per hour | Slight in both seas |
| Sunday 8 November | Fair to partly cloudy, clouds over northern and eastern areas, no rain forecast | Reaching 35 km per hour | Slight in both seas |
| Monday 9 November | Partly cloudy to cloudy at times | South-easterly shifting north-westerly, reaching 40 km per hour, particularly over the sea | Slight to moderate in the Arabian Gulf, becoming rough by the afternoon, slight in the Oman Sea |
| Tuesday 10 November | Not stated | North-westerly strengthening, reaching 45 km per hour at times, blowing dust over land possible | Rough to very rough at times in the Arabian Gulf, moderate to rough in the Oman Sea |
How should you drive in rain today?
Rain driving needs a different approach from normal driving. The safe speed in rain is often lower than the posted limit, even when no lower limit is shown. Drivers should match their speed to what they can see, and keep a safe distance from the vehicle ahead. In rain, it is easy to misjudge how close the next vehicle is, so extra space gives more time to react. Drivers should use low beam headlights, because they help other drivers to see the car. Rain on dry, dusty roads can make the surface slippery at first, so gentle braking is safer than sudden braking.
Standing water can build up quickly in low spots, and drivers should avoid driving through deep water. A flooded underpass can hide a deep pool, and the water can stall an engine or sweep a car off the road. The rules of the road are changing in other ways too, and readers can catch up with the new UAE traffic rules from 2027. In short, slow down, leave space, use low beam lights, and avoid deep water. A few minutes of care can save a stressful drive, and the rain should pass quickly in most places.
How should you drive in blowing dust?
Blowing dust is the other hazard to watch today, because the wind could reach 40 km per hour when clouds build. Dust can cut visibility in seconds, especially on open desert roads and near construction sites. Drivers should slow down as soon as dust appears, and they should switch on low beam headlights so other drivers can see them. Windows should stay closed, and the air conditioning should run on recirculation if the car has that setting. People with breathing difficulties should take care when dust is in the air, and they should stay indoors if the dust becomes thick.
If the dust becomes too thick to see the road ahead, the safest choice is to pull over in a safe place and wait. Drivers should stop well away from moving traffic, switch on hazard lights, and wait until visibility improves. A dust storm can pass quickly, but driving through it is never worth the risk. The wind should ease by Saturday, with gusts of 35 km per hour, but dust can still appear when clouds build. In general, the same rule applies in dust as in rain. Slow down, leave space, keep the lights on, and stop if you cannot see clearly.
What should you do about fog or mist in the mornings?
Fog and mist are a regular feature of the season, and Thursday morning brought a yellow fog alert until 9am. The alert covered parts of the country, and visibility dropped in the morning. Thursday’s forecast also warned that humidity would build up overnight, with a high chance of mist on Friday morning over most coastal areas. That warning means drivers who set out early today should allow extra time, and they should check the latest alert before leaving home. The mist should clear as the sun rises and the air warms.
Fog driving needs a different approach from normal driving. The safe speed in fog is often lower than the posted limit, even when the limit has already been reduced. Drivers should use low beam headlights and fog lights where fitted. High beam headlights should stay off, because the strong light reflects off the fog and makes it harder to see. The electronic road signs are the best guide to the limit in force at any moment, and drivers should follow the limit shown. In short, slow down, leave space, use low beam lights, and follow the signs.
What is happening at Global Village this weekend?
Global Village is marking Diwali from 6 to 10 November, with a 600-drone display planned for Sunday 8 November at 8pm. The drone show should be one of the highlights of the weekend, and the dry weather on Sunday is good news for anyone who plans to watch it. Global Village is in its 31st season, and the season runs until May 2027. The park stays open through the weekend, and the Diwali events add a festive feel to the whole site. Visitors should expect busy roads around the park, especially in the evening.
Saturday brings a special offer for visitors. Global Village will give free entry on Saturday 7 November to visitors who buy a ticket and visit on Friday 6 November. The park has set aside 3,100 complimentary tickets, and they will go on a first-come, first-served basis. Visitors should present their 6 November ticket at the Information Booth at the Gate of the World. In short, a visit on Friday could earn a free visit on Saturday, but the tickets are limited. Readers who plan to go should arrive early, and they should check the weather before they leave, because the rain chance is highest in the east.
How will the weather affect Diwali celebrations?
Diwali reaches its main day on Sunday 8 November, and families across the UAE will mark the festival of lights. The Festival of Lights runs from 2 to 12 November, so the celebrations stretch across the whole week. The weather should play its part, because Sunday looks largely dry, with no rain forecast. That is good news for outdoor gatherings, evening walks and the drone display at Global Village. The evening should feel pleasant, with temperatures falling into the mid-20s after a warm day.
Friday and Saturday need a little more care, because the rain chance is highest in the east and north on those days. Families who plan outdoor events in Fujairah, Kalba or the eastern mountains should keep an eye on the afternoon sky. A short shower should not spoil a celebration, but a light rain jacket is a sensible precaution. In general, Dubai and Abu Dhabi should stay dry through the weekend, with cloud and humidity instead of rain. The festival should go ahead as planned, and the dry Sunday is the day to look forward to most.
What else is happening in the UAE this week?
Dubai Design Week runs from 3 to 8 November at Dubai Design District, known as d3. The festival is in its 12th edition, and it brings designers from more than 50 countries to Dubai. Downtown Design runs alongside it from 4 to 8 November, also at d3. The two events make this week one of the busiest of the year for design in the city. Visitors should expect busy roads around d3, especially in the afternoon and evening. The weather should stay warm and humid, with cloud building in the afternoon, so an umbrella is worth packing for the east.
The Sharjah International Book Fair runs from 4 to 15 November, and it is in its 45th edition this year. The theme for this year is Made of Stories, and the fair is one of the biggest book events in the region. The fair runs through the weekend, so Saturday and Sunday are good days to visit, with Sunday looking drier than Saturday. The Dubai Fitness Challenge runs until 29 November, and the Dubai Run takes place on 22 November. Readers who want to join the cycling event can find the details in our guide to Dubai Ride 2026. Readers who wonder about time off can check the next public holiday in the UAE.
The Dubai International Baja also runs from 5 to 8 November, with racing in the desert. The event is one of the highlights of the motorsport calendar, and it runs through the weekend. Dubai National Month runs from 3 November to 2 December, so the whole month carries a festive feel. In short, the UAE has a full calendar this week, and the weather should not stop anyone from enjoying it.
What should beachgoers and boat users know?
Today is a good day for the beach, because the sea will be slight to moderate at times in the Arabian Gulf, and slight in the Oman Sea. Gulf News describes the sea as slight in both seas, so the two reports agree that conditions are calm. The slight sea is good news for swimmers, beachgoers and fishing boats. The warm air and the warm sea make this a pleasant time to spend by the water. Even so, beachgoers should watch the wind in the afternoon, because gusts can pick up when clouds build.
The weekend should stay calm on the water, with a slight sea in both seas on Saturday and Sunday. Monday brings a change, with the Arabian Gulf turning rough by the afternoon. Tuesday is rougher still, with the Gulf rough to very rough at times and the Oman Sea moderate to rough. In short, today and the weekend are the best days for the sea this week. People who plan a boat trip on Monday or Tuesday should check the latest marine forecast first, and they should think twice about heading out. The sea can change quickly, even when the land stays calm.
How should you plan your day today?
A little planning will make today run smoothly. The morning could start with mist, so drivers should leave a few minutes early and check the latest alert before setting off. By mid-morning, the mist should lift, and the day should turn bright and warm. The afternoon brings cloud and a chance of rain in the east and north, so anyone who heads to Sharjah, Fujairah or Khor Fakkan should pack a light rain jacket or an umbrella. Dubai and Abu Dhabi should stay dry, with cloud and humidity instead of rain.
Fuel is another part of the daily plan for drivers. Prices change each month, and the November 2026 petrol and diesel prices are worth a quick check before a long drive. The evening should feel pleasant for a walk, with temperatures falling into the mid-20s. Humidity will build up again overnight, so Saturday morning could start with mist. In short, today is a day of two halves. The morning needs care on the roads, and the afternoon needs a rain jacket in the east.
What should visitors to the UAE know today?
Visitors to the UAE should know that November is one of the best months to travel here. The days are warm but not extreme, and the evenings feel pleasant. Today brings a chance of rain in the east and north, but Dubai and Abu Dhabi should stay dry. Visitors who plan a desert trip should watch the wind, because gusts can stir up dust on Friday and again on Tuesday. The sea stays slight today, so beach plans should go ahead as normal. In general, the weather should not spoil a visit, and the events calendar is full.
Travellers should also keep an eye on flight schedules, because rain and dust can delay flights at times. The latest UAE flight updates are worth a quick check before heading to the airport. Visitors who use public transport can also look at the Dubai Nol-Jaywan card, which covers travel across the city. The Dubai Fitness Challenge runs until 29 November, and the Dubai Run takes place on 22 November. In short, the UAE is warm, busy and welcoming this week, and a little planning will help visitors make the most of it.
Frequently asked questions?
Will it rain in Dubai today?
The NCM has forecast a chance of rainfall in some areas of the UAE, mainly in the east and north, but not for Dubai itself. Dubai should stay fair to partly cloudy, with humidity instead of rain. The rain chance is highest in the afternoon, when convective clouds build over the east and north.
How strong will the wind be today?
