The NCM said the convective activity is expected to affect some eastern and western regions, extending into internal areas of the Emirates. Motorists in these zones are advised to drive carefully, especially given the risk of sudden dust and reduced visibility on major roads.
Confirming the forecast, local weather tracker @storm_ae reported rain already falling on Al Shuwaib Road, north of Al Ain, with visuals showing cloud formations building over the area.
With similar conditions carrying over from the previous day, residents across the eastern and western regions are urged to follow official NCM updates and drive carefully during the affected hours, as dust and reduced visibility may develop alongside the rain.
