Rainy weather to continue across UAE until Friday night

The National Centre of Meteorology (NCM) has forecast more rain for parts of the UAE until Friday night, driven by a main weather front over the far western regions.

Conditions will gradually extend to the emirate of Abu Dhabi between 1:00 am and 3:00 am on Friday, bringing heavy rain, before reaching the emirate of Dubai, the northern coasts, and southern interior areas.

Rain will then spread to northern and eastern regions, including Al Ain, between 4:00 am and 5:00 am, with continued heavy rainfall.

An orange and yellow alert has been issued by the authority forecasting rainfall and convective cloud formation until 2:30 pm on Friday.

The National Emergency Crisis and Disaster Management Authority has also advised the public to avoid valleys and flooded areas due to changing water levels that could impact their safety.
