A temperature of -0.1 degrees Celsius was recorded at the top of the UAE’s highest mountain, Jais Mountain…

There was actual snow in the UAE this week. And hail.

After a week of unpredictable weather, a temperature of -0.1 degrees Celsius was recorded at 4.15am on Wednesday January 15 in the UAE. It was at the top-most peak of the UAE’s highest mountain, Jais Mountain, which can be found in Ras Al Khaimah.
