November in the United Arab Emirates is marked by a stable drop in temperature, especially noticeable at night in the mountainous areas and some internal regions. The direction of prevailing winds shifts from southeast to west and northwest during the day. Wind speed can sometimes increase, especially during storm events. Relative humidity tends to rise, especially in the early morning hours, due to the arrival of moderate air masses over the Arabian Gulf.
This month typically features maximum and minimum temperatures 4-6 degrees lower than in October, due to the southward movement of the sun away from the region. Throughout November in the UAE, there is a gradual influence of the Siberian anticyclonic system, particularly in the second half of the month. The intensity of precipitation may increase with the development of cloud masses, which can invoke fresh or strong winds and dust or sand storms.
Weather statistics include the following data: air temperature (average, maximum, and minimum), wind speed (average and maximum), relative humidity, fog, and precipitation. In June 2016, the highest frequency of fog was recorded, with 13 occurrences and 6 foggy days. The highest level of precipitation, measuring 211.4 mm, was recorded in November 2013 in Dalm.
According to the National Meteorology Center of the UAE, November marks the beginning of the transitional period in the country, characterized by moderate daily temperatures and cooler nights. Increased humidity raises the likelihood of fog and mist formation, especially in coastal areas. Additionally, the region may be influenced by cold air systems from the upper layers of the atmosphere, which can lead to cloud formation and potential precipitation.
