The UAE will see heavy rain, thunder and lightning over the next few days, according to weather forecasts in the country.
The National Centre of Meteorology (NCM) has issued a weather advisory regarding the weather condition across the country from Sunday, October 6, to Wednesday, October 9 2024.
NCM said the UAE is affected by an extension of a surface low pressure, accompanied by an extension of an upper air low pressure from the South and another upper air low pressure extension from the North, with a relatively cold air-mass in the upper levels.
UAE weather forecast
With the presence of the Mountains Eastward, it causes local convective clouds formation over some Eastern and Northern areas, may extend over some Southern areas associated with rainfall.
Summarising weather from Monday to Wednesday the NCM said there will be formation of some local convective clouds over Eastern and Northern areas, and may extend over some Southern areas, associated with light to moderate and heavy at times rainfall accompanied by lightning and thunder.
It added that wind will be light to moderate Southeasterly to Northeasterly becoming Northwesterly, and fresh to strong at times, causing blowing dust and sand, reducing the horizontal visibility in the UAE.
