Heavy rainfall in the UAE has led to hazardous conditions, particularly in the mountainous regions of Masafi, Fujairah. Rocks and debris have tumbled onto roads, creating perilous driving scenarios. A video shared by the weather-focused account Storm_ae captured vehicles navigating cautiously around large boulders on a mountainous road. The National Meteorological Centre has issued yellow and orange warnings, urging residents to remain vigilant during outdoor activities and adhere to safety guidelines. The UAE’s east coast is particularly affected, with authorities advising motorists to reduce speed and exercise caution, especially in hilly areas prone to landslides and rockfalls during heavy rains. Despite the challenges, some residents have embraced the weather, enjoying mini waterfalls and streams formed by the overflowing rainwater. The National Meteorological Centre forecasts continued rain and strong winds in the coming days, with unsettled weather expected during the transitional period between summer and winter. Scattered showers are anticipated in Fujairah and Ras Al Khaimah on Monday and Tuesday. The region has also experienced a noticeable drop in temperatures, offering a respite from the recent intense heat. Humidity levels are expected to rise, reaching up to 91% in Sweihan, Al Ain, and around 85% in Abu Dhabi and Dubai next week. Despite the erratic rains, temperatures will remain high, with daytime highs hovering around the 30s, peaking at 37°C in Abu Dhabi and Dubai. The Northern Emirates, however, will remain slightly cooler.
