It’s going to be a rainy weekend for UAE residents as showers are being reported in different parts of the country and more rain is expected in other areas. So don’t forget to bring your umbrella when going outdoors.

The weather bureau has reported light rainfall earlier today, Friday, over Sheikh Mohammed Bin Zayed Road and Corniche in Umm Al Quwain area. It is also raining in some parts of Sharjah. Motorists are advised to drive slowly and carefully due to slippery roads when wet because of the rain.
