The United Arab Emirates is bracing for a slight drop in temperatures and the potential for fog formation tomorrow, February 22nd, 2026. The National Center of Meteorology (NCM) forecasts a generally clear to partly cloudy day, with conditions becoming more humid overnight and into Monday morning. Residents in coastal and inland areas should be prepared for the possibility of fog or light fog, potentially reducing visibility.
The anticipated temperature decrease follows recent warmer weather and the NCM’s forecast highlights the dynamic nature of weather patterns across the region. The shift is expected to bring cooler evenings and mornings, alongside the increased risk of reduced visibility due to fog.
