Al Ain: Weathermen have warned of thunder in northern and some coastal areas along with intermittent rain all over the country.
The sea, which will be moderate in general, may also become rough during the thunder with six-foot waves offshore, according to the National Centre for Meteorology and Seismology.
The forecast said high energy cumulus clouds will gradually increase.
Thick black clouds produced drizzle in Al Ain yesterday starting at around 3pm. The drizzle forced motorists to slow down and drive carefully on the slippery roads. Light drizzle was also reported in other parts of the country.
The Met department said conditions will continue to remain partly cloudy to cloudy in general today with a chance of rain in different parts of the country. Winds will be moderate with gusts at times.
