Parts of the UAE received scattered rains on Sunday following the impact of cyclone Mekunu.

Cyclone Mekunu hit Oman's Dhofar and Al Wusta provinces on Friday after intensifying from a category one to a category two cyclone, with winds of up to 170 kilometres per hour after it made landfall on Socotra on Thursday.
Oman's meteorology directorate announced late Saturday that the Cyclone Mekunu has now been downgraded to the category of "deep depression".

The death toll from a cyclone that battered southern Oman and the Yemeni island of Socotra has reached 11, while eight sailors are still missing, authorities said on Sunday.
Late Saturday it struck Saudi Arabia with ongoing heavy rains and strong winds.
The Saudi meteorological authority said on Sunday that winds blew at 60 kilometres per hour, kicking up blinding dust storms.

Rains are expected to continue for two more days, drenching the area with more than 100mm of rain, almost six times its annual average, weather experts WASM said on Twitter.
