According to a representative from the NCM, northeasterly to easterly winds are cooling down the temperatures and such conditions are expected to last till Monday.
The representative also said that Raknah area, which is in Al Ain gets colder than other parts of the UAE because of its location. However, temperatures around the area and in the surrounding cities are comparatively higher.
“The cold air mass moving from the east and northeast is causing the dip in temperatures,” he said.
Starting Tuesday, the wind direction is expected to change to northwesterly winds and pleasant temperatures are expected to continue.
