Scattered rains expected to continue: NCMS
dubai — Scattered rains across the country are expected to continue today, with the lowest temperature forecast to fall to 20 degrees Celsius.
The National Centre of Meteorology and Seismology (NCMS) has predicted more rain and cloud formations in all seven Emirates today.
The weather is predicted to be similar to that seen on Sunday.
The NCMS tweeted: “Unstable weather will continue. Cloud amounts increasing over most areas, associated with different intensity rainfall over scattered areas with heavy and thundery clouds at times. Moderate to fresh winds and strong over the sea in case of cloud activity. Sea will be rough to very rough, especially in clouds activity in Arabian Gulf and in Oman Sea.”
The NCMS said that rain will continue on Tuesday. However, it won’t be as heavy and it will be partly sunny, with a decrease in cloud formations.
Over the weekend, over 100 mm of rain was recorded across the UAE, causing 15 inbound flights to Dubai to be diverted and causing flooding and landslides in parts of the country, particularly in Ras Al Khaimah.
Meanwhile, the Dubai Airports took to Twitter to warn that “thunderstorms in the region may continue to affect operations at DXB & DWC overnight”. “Check with your airline before heading to the airport,” the airport added.
