The National Centre of Meteorology (NCM) had forecast that rainfall is expected over the islands on Sunday, as well as in some northern and coastal areas.
One video posted by Storm Centre highlighted the heavy rain in Ras Al Khaimah, where roads were visibly affected by the downpour. The rainfall caused puddles to form on streets, and cars were seen with blurred windows due to the intensity of the showers.
