Details of the UAE being affected by a low-pressure system accompanied by a cold front on Thursday evening and night/Friday

In detail, God willing, unstable weather conditions are expected on Thursday, as clouds will increase at different altitudes and the opportunity will arise over time for thunderstorms to rain over scattered areas of the country. These storms may be heavy at times, especially in the eastern and northeastern regions, and may be accompanied by hail showers.

Starting from the evening and night hours of Thursday/Friday, an air front will gradually cross the country, as cloud cover increases in the atmosphere, and thunderstorms become very active in the waters of the Arabian Gulf, moving quickly towards large areas of the Emirates, especially the northern ones. These thunderstorms will be accompanied by many weather phenomena, including heavy rain, strong thunderstorms, lightning, and possibly heavy and accumulating showers of hail, which may be large in size in some areas.

Winds also become very active during the passage of the cold front and thunderclouds, causing sea waves to become turbulent in the Arabian Gulf, whether near the northern coasts or in the deep sea. It is also possible that waterspouts will be active over the waters of the Arabian Gulf and near some of the country’s coasts during the passage of thunderstorms.

Unstable weather on Friday and a significant drop in temperatures

The country will be affected by the cold air mass on Friday, December 19, 2025, causing temperatures to drop significantly and the weather to be cold, God willing. It will remain unstable until the evening hours, with clouds continuing to appear and showers of rain falling over large areas of the country, especially the interior regions. The rain will be heavy at times and may be accompanied by lightning, thunder, and hail.

And God knows best.
