The forecast, covering the period from Friday, April 19th to Tuesday, April 23rd, predicts partly cloudy to cloudy skies across the nation. The NCM suggests a chance of light to moderate rainfall, with the possibility of heavier showers in isolated areas. Coastal regions might also witness a drop in temperatures.
This news comes as UAE authorities and communities continue extensive clean-up efforts following the unprecedented torrential storm that struck the country on Tuesday. The NCM reported Al Ain, bordering Oman, receiving a record-breaking 254 mm (10 inches) of rain in less than 24 hours, marking the highest since official record-keeping began in 1949.
While recovery operations are in full swing, the NCM's forecast indicates the possibility of another round of showers next week. Winds are expected to be light to moderate, shifting from northeasterly to southeasterly on Tuesday. Later, the NCM anticipates a transition to northwesterly winds with speeds reaching 15 to 25 km/h, potentially gusting up to 40 km/h.
This news is particularly relevant in light of the recent heavy rainfall. Stay tuned for further updates and advisories from the NCM as the week progresses.
