Pull out those umbrellas…

Attention all – the cloud cover is bearing fruit, because rain has hit many parts of the country this morning, including parts of Dubai, Abu Dhabi and Northern Emirates.

Earlier this week, the National Center of Meteorology (NCM) announced about a chance of rain over the next few days as cloudy weather is expected in northern and eastern parts of the country, increasing the chance of light to moderate rainfall. Temperatures also took a significant drop, around 20°C and with lows to be between 8 to 14°C.
