Dubai: Rain showers fell on Dubai and Abu Dhabi on Monday as meteorologist predicted unstable weather over the UAE in the next 48 hours.

On Sunday, brief showers have fallen on a number of areas along the East Coast, including Fujairah city and Dibba.

Overcast skies and light winds signalled a change of weather conditions on Sunday morning, with rain limited to a few minutes of drizzles later in the afternoon.

Heavy rain and hail also fell on Ras Al Khaimah on Saturday, causing a major fire at Ghaleelah Basic School.

Since I arrived February last year I have not really experienced the rain. I hope this weekend or the next few days. I would see the real rain!

I think the peoples' recent prayers for the rainfall initiated by the rulers have been answered well.
