Is Dubai in for a cold front?
From Friday, December 18, a cold spell (possibly lasting longer than a week) is set to move into Dubai, kicking off with heavy rain. Temperatures are expected to dip significantly, with the lowest low forecast for Tuesday, December 23, when the mercury could drop to 10°C.
That’s seriously chilly (and not even talking Dubai standards) so yes, it might finally be time to dig out the jumpers.
