The UAE is still experiencing a deepening upper-air trough that will deliver scattered showers and strong winds starting Sunday for three days.
The weather department has warned residents of unstable weather and forecasts an increase in cloud cover with the potential for light to moderate rainfall. There is a chance of heavier downpours with intervals of lightning and thunder, leading to a noticeable drop in temperatures. While the rain is expected to ease by Tuesday evening, the Met Department report warned against potential hazards.
On Saturday, residents in parts of UAE woke up to cloudy skies and heavy rainfall, in what seems like the starting of rainy days after an alert was issued by the met department. Motorists who hit Al Khail Road in Dubai early in the morning faced heavy rains on their way to work.
Lightning also hit parts of the city, as seen in a video shared by Storm Centre on X, where motorists faced it near Al Garhoud bridge as they drove under heavy rains.
On Sunday, the National Centre of Meteorology reported light to moderate rain over several locations in Dubai, Ras Al Khaimah and other emirates.
