UAE weather alert: Rain showers drench Al Ain; cloudy, humid week ahead

Al Ain: Showers ranging from light to heavy fell across Al Ain on Friday, soaking areas including Khatm Al Shakla, Ghashabah, Al Foah, Ghamdh, and Al Shuwaib, according to the National Center of Meteorology. 

The unsettled weather is expected to linger through the weekend and into next week, driven by a surface low-pressure system from the east reinforced by an upper-air trough.

The center said Saturday’s conditions would remain partly cloudy to overcast at times, particularly in the east, with the chance of light rain. 

Winds will blow from the southeast and northeast, shifting to northwesterly at speeds of 10 to 25 kilometers per hour, gusting to 40 km/h and stirring dust in open areas. The Arabian Gulf and Oman Sea are forecast to remain slight to moderate.
