Rain begins to lash the UAE, with thunder expected later
Al Ain: Rain has started to fall across the UAE, causing flooding in major cities like Dubai.
Weathermen have also forecast thunderstorms, with the wet weather scheduled to continue for another few days.
However, the continuous cloudy conditions have raised the unusually low temperatures to somewhat pleasant levels.
On Monday, Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Al Ain, Sharjah and other cities experienced scattered rain.
Scattered rain accompanied by thunder is expected all over the country for the next few days, said the weathermen.
“We expect rain and occasional thunder with fresh winds in different parts of the UAE,'' said a weatherman at the National Centre for Meteorology and Seismology on Monday.
There are chances of further dip in temperature. Wind speed would be between 10 to 16 knots over land, but could reach 20 knots at times.
Fishermen are advised not to venture into the sea.
