Dubai:>The National Center of Meteorology (NCM) has advised residents in certain areas of the United Arab Emirates (UAE) to be prepared for possible heavy rainfall on Monday. While the specific locations that will experience the heaviest downpours remain uncertain, the NCM urges residents to stay informed and exercise caution when venturing outdoors during the anticipated weather event.
The NCM forecasts partly cloudy to cloudy skies across the UAE on Monday, with a chance of light to moderate rainfall and a noticeable decrease in temperatures. However, residents in the northern, eastern, and coastal regions, including Ras Al Khaimah, Umm Al Quwain, Ajman, Al Ain, and parts of Abu Dhabi, should be particularly vigilant for the potential of heavier rainfall. Even Dubai's Jumeirah district might see some rain.
The NCM highlights the potential dangers associated with the anticipated heavy rainfall, emphasizing the importance of motorist caution due to reduced visibility and slippery roads. They strongly advise residents to stay updated on the latest weather forecasts through official NCM channels to stay informed about the developing weather conditions.
The UAE isn't unfamiliar with unpredictable weather patterns. The country occasionally experiences periods of heavy rainfall, which can sometimes lead to flash flooding and disrupt daily life. In recent years, the UAE has implemented various measures to mitigate the risks associated with heavy rainfall, such as improving drainage systems and flood control infrastructure.
While the exact impact of the upcoming rainfall remains uncertain, residents are encouraged to take necessary precautions, such as following weather updates, avoiding venturing into flooded areas, and driving cautiously on wet roads. By staying informed and prepared, residents can help ensure their safety and minimize disruptions during the anticipated rain event.
