It will be a cloudy day throughout, with more showers likely.

NCM's tweets suggested that the recent showers around the country were bought on by the ongoing cloud seeding programme.

Number of locations and key highways in Dubai and other parts of the country experienced waterlogging following the downpour, as teams from emergency and municipal services swung into action to remove water accumulations.

Meanwhile, the authorities have urged motorists to drive with caution on the roads due to hazardous weather conditions.

The seas are expected to be rough to moderate throughout the day.
