Light rain has also been reported in Owtaid, in the Al Dhafra region this afternoon, marking the start of a mixed weather pattern for the UAE. Meanwhile, Abu Dhabi and Dubai are experiencing cloudy skies as the National Center of Meteorology (NCM) issues yellow weather alerts for cloud activity across parts of Abu Dhabi, Dubai, and Al Ain.

The lowest temperature recorded today was a refreshing 24.5°C in Al Heben Mountain (Fujairah) at 6 AM. UAE residents can expect these cloudy conditions and scattered rain to continue through today and into tomorrow in some areas. The NCM has warned of further cloud activity.

Looking ahead, tomorrow will bring more clouds, especially in the afternoon, with a slight dip in temperatures across coastal and northern regions. Humid conditions are forecast for tonight and Sunday morning, increasing the chance of mist forming in some inland areas.

Despite the chance of rain, temperatures are expected to remain hot, with maximums soaring into the high 40s. Drivers should exercise extra caution due to potential reduced visibility from blowing dust. Those with allergies are also advised to take precautions when outdoors.
