Separate areas in the UAE on Friday afternoon witnessed rainfall of varying degrees, because of the country being affected by an extension of surface low-pressure systems, accompanied by an extension of an upper air low pressure.

Light rain began falling at 3:30 pm on Al Shuwaib and Malaqet areas in Al Ain, and medium to heavy rain on Al Khader and Khat Al Shikla in Al Ain, turning into heavy rain with hailstones. While Lahbab in Dubai witnessed light to medium rain, according to the National Centre of Meteorology (NCM).

Al Jazeera area in Al Dhafra region recorded the country’s lowest temperature on Thursday morning that was 20.6ºC at 5:30 am, the NCM said.

The National Centre of Meteorology called for caution while driving during rain and poor visibility, caused by winds that raise dust, advising the public to stay away from places of water gathering and the surface run-offs.
