The United Arab Emirates is expected to experience further rainfall accompanied by cold winds, as forecasters warn of intensified weather over the coming days.
Earlier today, heavy rain transformed the mountains into cascading waterfalls, sending water flowing into nearby valleys. The downpour, combined with strong winds, significantly lowered temperatures across the country. According to the reports, the National Center of Meteorology (NCM) had already issued forecasts warning of these weather conditions.
In Dubai, Ras Al Khaimah, and surrounding areas, dark clouds blanketed the skies in the morning, bringing unusually cold weather. The NCM has warned that between December 16 and 19, the UAE could experience intensified weather, including more rain, cold winds, and a noticeable drop in temperatures.
The National Emergency Crisis and Disasters Management Authority (NCEMA) has issued alerts in response to the severe cold, rain, and potential snowfall. Authorities in Dubai and Abu Dhabi have urged residents to take precautionary measures, advising the public to follow government instructions to stay safe and avoid accidents during the adverse weather.
Citizens are advised to remain vigilant, particularly in mountainous and low-lying areas, and to adhere to safety guidelines issued by local authorities during this period of extreme weather.
