Temperatures in the UAE hit a new low. A chilly 1.9℃ was recorded in Ras Al Khaimah's Jebel Jais at 5am on Saturday, just a day after hitting 2.2℃.
The cold weather conditions resulted in frost formation on the mountain, the highest peak in the UAE. Ice crystals were seen floating down a water stream and on a car's roof early Friday.
While official mercury readings come from the National Centre of Meteorology (NCM), some had shown proof that the temperature on the Ras Al Khaimah mountain could have plummeted to the freezing point of water at 0℃.
