On September 23, the UAE officially welcomed autumn, marking a gradual shift from intense summer heat. The autumnal equinox, when the sun crosses the celestial equator, signals cooler, more pleasant weather and longer nights. Temperatures have already dipped below 40°C, with coastal areas ranging 34–37°C and eastern regions 29–34°C. Southeasterly summer winds are giving way to cooler northwesterly winds, occasionally bringing dust or light rain. The day is expected to be fair to partly cloudy, with increasing humidity at night and chances of early morning mist or fog. Seas will be slight to moderate, turning rougher in the Arabian Gulf.
