Overview
- National Centre of Meteorology kept a yellow alert in place for convective clouds that can trigger rain across much of the UAE into early week.
- Light to moderate showers are expected in many areas, with heavier bursts likely over Al Dhafra and Al Ain.
- Official forecasts show periods of heavy rain possible in Abu Dhabi, Dubai, and the Northern Emirates, with daytime temperatures briefly dipping before rising again.
- A meteorologist said a lower‑level low from the Arabian Sea is meeting an upper‑level system from the Middle East, which boosts humidity and cloud build‑up that can develop over Saudi Arabia and shift into the UAE.
- Police and emergency agencies urged drivers to slow down, keep distance, and avoid pooled water as reduced visibility is likely during downpours, while local accounts shared videos of rain on roads and in desert areas.
