Light rain was reported early this morning over Masafi in Ras Al Khaimah and Dibba Al Hisn in Sharjah by the National Center of Meteorology (NCM), as the UAE continues to experience unpredictable summer weather.
All day long, forecasters predict fair to partly overcast skies, with the possibility of convective cloud formation in eastern regions by the afternoon, which could result in further rainfall. The earlier warning of possible rains in eastern regions has been upheld by the NCM through Friday.
Due to slick roads after rain showers, drivers are advised to drive carefully.
