Parts of the UAE were hit by rain on Sunday evening, as predicted by the National Centre of Meteorology (NCM).
According to the authority, the UAE is currently under the influence of a weak surface pressure system coupled with the extension of an upper-level low-pressure system, which leads to cloudiness and rains.
Videos on social media show the extent of precipitation, with clouds engulfing part of a mountain road in Ras Al Khaimah.
Fujairah too has been hit by rains, as shown in this video below, in which cars can be seen navigating through the precipitation.

- Avoid sitting near edges of valleys.
- Supervise children closely.
- Allow space for equipment sent to drain water from roads.
- Prioritise safety by remaining indoors.
- Maintaining safe distance from other cars while driving.
