Al Ain: Light showers are expected in some parts of the northern emirates Sunday evening and at night, the weather forecaster warned.

The weather will be partly cloudy in general but the clouds will increase gradually over some coastal and northern areas. "This may result in some light rainfall," the forecaster said.

The National Centre of Meteorology and Seismology (NCMS) has also issued a similar rain forecast for the northern emirates. The north-westerly winds will be moderate at first but they will gain speed by afternoon.

The centre said Arabian Gulf waters will also become rough with four to seven feet high waves offshore.

Relative humidity is likely to increase in the coastal areas at night and early in the morning. This could help formation of fog in these areas.

Fog has also been reported this morning (Sunday) in the internal areas, that reduced visibility to less than 500m between 3am to 9am.
