Unstable weather conditions are expected over the coming few days, she added. "The situation will peak on Monday and Tuesday, with the weather becoming stable by Wednesday evening."
The UAE is undergoing a low-pressure weather system in the UAE, which usually results in rain, Al . On Saturday, some convective clouds are expected over eastern areas. Clouds will increase over the weekend, on Sunday afternoon we are expecting rain in some parts especially eastern areas of the country, which includes areas in and around Al Ain, Fujairah, and Ras Al Khaimah," she said.

Cloud seeding flights will be conducted till Wednesday, depending on the clouds, to maximise rainfall in the country, she confirmed.
When asked if there will be any hail, like last week in Khorfakkan and Maliha, Alblooshi said: "For now, we know only about the chance of rainfall, it's too early to confirm if there will be hail."
