These are the top three regions in the Emirates that are most susceptible to experiencing significant rainfall.
The top 3 regions in the UAE that received the most rainfall in the past week.
According to the National Centre of Meteorology (NCM), the Al Dhafrah region in Abu Dhabi received the most rainfall on May 2, during the most recent rain event in the United Arab Emirates.
According to Dr. Habib, a weather expert at the National Climate Management, the largest amount of precipitation was recorded in Al Dhafra, Abu Dhabi.
He reported a substantial amount of rainfall in the Al Dhafrah region.
It reached 72.3 millimeters in height. This is a reasonably substantial amount of precipitation. The areas of Majil Bada Thalab and Abu Al-Abyad received 67.9 millimeters and 58.5 millimeters of rainfall, respectively, following this.
What's the difference between the two instances of rain?
However, keep in mind that the rainfall in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) on May 2 was not nearly as intense as the rainfall on April 16, and that major weather events are unlikely to occur in the near future.
As of Friday, May 3, the weather conditions had mostly improved, and the sky had become clear across the majority of the country.
After the Ghadir storm's influence on the United Arab Emirates (UAE) came to an end over the weekend, the National Climate Management (NCM) shared rainfall data throughout various sections of the country during the rainy period that lasted from May 1 to May 2, 2024.
The Ghadir depression in May recorded significantly more precipitation than the average for the Al Dhafrah region, which is important to note.
A total of 38.1 millimeters of precipitation fell on Expo 2020 in Dubai during the previous week's rains.
Dr. Habib explained that during this month, depressions affecting the region from both the east and the west will decrease the influence of the Siberian high pressure. When westerly upper air troughs accompany these depressions, cloud cover tends to increase. This, in turn, "raises the likelihood of light to medium rain, potentially heavy in only the southern and eastern regions," he warned.
