Al Ain: Thunderstorm and rain has hit Fujairah and some of its surrounding areas, as forecasters warn people to stay away from the sea that has turned rough.
The rain was light but the sea on both the eastern and northern tip of the UAE is likely to be rough under the strong winds, at times, said a weather alert from the National Centre of Meteorology and Seismology (NCMS).
The area is also under the influence of thundery clouds.
The Ministry of Environment and Water said 628 million gallons of water has accumulated in 18 dams in the emirate’s wadis in the recent spell of wet weather.
People have been warned to stay away from the sea, which has become rough. More rain is expected intermittently in the coming days, contributing to improved water levels.
