The United Arab Emirates’ northern regions experienced significant meteorological activity on Wednesday as convective cloud formations brought moderate to heavy rainfall across multiple areas. According to the National Centre of Meteorology (NCM), Fujairah witnessed precipitation ranging from light to moderate intensity, particularly affecting the Al Bithnah, Skamkam, Al Rimailah, and Al Sodah districts. Simultaneously, Ras Al Khaimah’s Al Huwailat area received substantial downpours, with temperatures expected to reach a low of 13°C.
The meteorological authority activated an orange-level alert—indicating potentially hazardous conditions—for convective cloud development in Fujairah, remaining in effect until 7 PM local time. Visual documentation from Storm Centre depicted vehicles navigating rain-slicked roadways with active windscreen wipers as water accumulated on thoroughfares.
While temperature projections indicate only marginal decreases over subsequent days, residents are anticipated to perceive noticeably cooler conditions due to persistent fresh winds sweeping across the nation. Although certain localities have registered temperatures approaching freezing points, overall daytime mercury levels are forecast to maintain relative stability with minor fluctuations.
The NCM continues to monitor atmospheric developments closely, urging motorists to exercise caution during reduced visibility conditions and advising residents to stay informed through official meteorological channels.
