After the freak hailstorm and downpour that lashed parts of Al Ain city and Abu Dhabi on Monday, the UAE’s Met office has forecast more rainfall on the horizon.
The UAE’s National Centre for Meteorology and Seismology (NCMS) has also issued an alert, warning of low visibility conditions across open areas due to a spike in wind speeds, which will also affect the sea conditions on Tuesday.
