Heavy rain falls in Al Ain, UAE, as temperatures soar to 47.4°C, with further showers predicted for tomorrow.
Over the next few days, residents of Al Ain and Fujairah can expect some respite from the intense summer heat as rainfall and a drop in temperatures are predicted.
According to the National Center of Meteorology (NCM), temperatures in Fujairah are forecasted to drop to around 30°C, with rainfall anticipated in both Al Ain and Fujairah. This rain is expected to bring much-needed relief from the heat, typically prevalent in these regions. On the other hand, Abu Dhabi, Dubai, and Sharjah will continue to experience high temperatures around 44-45°C, with little relief from the heat [4].
The weather conditions have been quite dynamic lately, with intense rains and even hail reported in Al Ain and Fujairah. This rainfall is linked to an extension of a low-pressure system that brings about convective cloud formation, particularly affecting the eastern and northern UAE regions, including Fujairah [2][4].
As a result of this unstable weather pattern, humidity levels are expected to remain high, potentially reaching 90%, with winds of 15-25 km/h, occasionally gusting up to 40 km/h. This weather pattern is expected to continue with scattered showers through the weekend and into early next week, especially in eastern and coastal areas like Fujairah, as well as parts of Al Ain [2].
The weather alert issued by the NCM warns of possible rainfall over parts of Al Ain and Fujairah until 8pm tonight. Additionally, there is a potential for blowing dust in exposed areas due to the winds. A video of the rainfall was shared on Instagram account @storm_ae.
However, it is worth noting that no new weather alert for rainfall was issued for the mentioned time frame, and no new information about solar panel grants for Irish homeowners was provided [1]. Also, the NCM's prediction for Sunday's weather remains fair to partly cloudy, and convective cloud formation is not predicted for the current day or the afternoon of Sunday [3][5][6].
Sea conditions in the Arabian Gulf and Oman Sea will remain slight, with winds in the UAE ranging from light to moderate, blowing Southeasterly to Northeasterly at speeds of 10 to 25 km/h, gusting up to 40 km/h [7]. Sweihan in Al Ain recorded the highest temperature in the UAE at 47.4°C today, but no new information about the highest temperature recorded today was given [8].
In conclusion, residents of Al Ain and Fujairah can look forward to some rainfall and a drop in temperatures in the coming days, offering a welcome break from the usual summer heat. Stay tuned for further updates from the NCM.
