UAE weather: A rainy Friday awaits residents

Get your umbrellas out and rejoice that your prayers for rain have been answered. The clouds dominate the forecast for Friday. According to the National Centre for Meteorology and Seismology (NCMS), some areas will have partly cloudy to cloudy weather.

Few of the islands and the northern and coastal areas will see an increase in cloud amounts. They are likely to experience rainfall. Visibility will be affected by dust and sand blowing caused by moderate to fresh winds.

The sea will see roughness in the Arabian Gulf and in the Oman Sea. The cloud activity will largely define the roughness.
