Watch this video of rain and some hail hitting some areas of the country today as shared by Storm Centre:
Today's showers will be accompanied by winds reaching up to 60km/hr. These winds could cause blowing dust and sand, which may reduce horizontal visibility to less than 3000 metres over some eastern and northern areas.
On Sunday, residents in the areas of Sharjah, Umm Al Quwain and Ras Al Khaimah experienced rains and some drizzles. Meanwhile, small hail fell over Sharjah's Al Dhaid Road.
The National Centre of Meteorology issued orange and yellow alerts in these northern emirates.
The rainy conditions experienced by residents across various parts of the UAE came after the weather department's forecast predicted rainfall until September 30.
These scattered rainy conditions are to be expected as the country transitions to cooler temperatures as the autumn equinox observed on September 22 marked the end of UAE summer.
NCM advised residents to avoid driving unless absolutely necessary. In cases where they must drive, residents are urged to be vigilant and exercise caution when driving. When visibility is reduced, it is important to switch on their low beam lights. Residents are also reminded to follow weather forecasts and be ready to comply with instructions.
