UAE residents can expect a hot and cloudy weather with chances of rain during the holiday, according to forecasters.
“There will be a significant fall in temperatures on Sunday … Clouds will continue to cover the country from the East, with some convective and rainy, associated with thunder and lightning at times,” said the NCM in a statement issued to Khaleej Times.
“The weather will be partly cloudy to cloudy in general, with different intensities of rainfall over scattered areas of the country from time to time.”
Temperatures have come down further today after a dip yesterday. Showers are expected over internal, coastal, eastern and southern areas. Winds with top speeds of 40kmph are expected to kick up dust.

An NCM official had earlier told Khaleej Times that UAE could see up to three days of rainfall a week during summer. The weather forecaster said summer rains are not uncommon in the country as it experiences monsoon low pressure from India.
Additionally, the country uses cloud seeding to enhance rains.
"Cloud seeding operations can prove efficient due to the formation of the convective clouds that could trigger more rainfall," he had said.
