UAE issues heavy rain, dust storm warning

The residents in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) experienced record rainfalls, record rainfall, thunderstorms, and some unexpected hailstorms. However, things did not stopped there for them as the National Centre of Meteorology have forecasted more heavy rain and dust storms next week.

In the alert the weather department said that the country is currently affected by the influence of a surface low-pressure system originating from the Southwest, accompanied by an extension of an upper air depression and a westerly trough.

“This weather phenomenon brings clouds moving from the West,” the weather department said.

The UAE is expected to have partly cloudy to cloudy conditions with a chance of rainfall – which could potentially be heavy in certain Northern, Eastern, and coastal areas on Sunday and Monday.

Temperatures are set to decrease by Monday, particularly in western regions, the NCM added.

According to authorities, the recorded rainfall last week is equivalent to the rain received by the UAE three decades ago
