Snapped: Dark clouds and rain in Dubai, Abu Dhabi and other cities in UAE…

If you woke up this morning to dark skies and rain droplets on your windows, you probably thought you were dreaming. But you weren’t.

According to the National Center of Meteorology in UAE, the rain is due to cloud seeding and has announced light to moderate rain in several areas around the country.  The centre also shared several videos of 3D Radar images of cloud formation over several areas. You can check these out on their Twitter account here.

Of course, the centre wasn’t the only one sharing videos and information as several UAE residents have taken to Instagram with their photos of the rain and moody skies in the country.

If we missed your Instagram post, share them with us on our Instagram via chat.

Here are a few we could find.

We didn’t get to see much of this last year…
