UAE weather body expects slight drop in temperature as rain hits parts of the country

Parts of the United Arab Emirates are experiencing summer showers, bringing a welcome respite from the heat and creating picturesque scenes in the eastern regions. Areas like Khorfakkan Road and Sheikh Khalifa Street leading to Fujairah have seen varying intensities of rain.

The mountainous regions have been particularly affected, with rain clouds gathering and temperatures dropping relatively. This has led to the formation of small streams and valleys filled with water, drawing both residents and visitors to the scenic locales. Social media clips have captured the beauty of water flowing down mountain slopes and wet roads, showcasing the exceptional weather conditions.

The National Centre of Meteorology (NCM) forecasts generally clear weather for the coming week, though dusty conditions are expected at times. Light to moderate winds will blow, becoming active offshore and potentially causing rough seas in the Arabian Gulf later in the week. A noticeable drop in temperature is anticipated, particularly on Tuesday.

While the days are expected to be clear, humidity may increase during the nights and early mornings in some coastal and inland areas, especially towards the end of the week. The weather patterns reflect the typical formation of cumulus clouds over the eastern and mountainous areas during this time of year.
