Rain, hail and strong winds have returned to parts of the UAE, especially in eastern and northern areas. Masafi recorded 38mm of rainfall during the week, and the National Centre of Meteorology expects unsettled conditions in some locations through Monday, 2 November. Drivers should watch for reduced visibility, standing water and sudden weather changes on mountain roads.

The details

The National Centre of Meteorology has forecast further unsettled weather in parts of the UAE following heavy rain and hail during the final week of October.

Masafi recorded 38mm of rainfall, the highest reported amount during the period covered by the weather update.

Heavy showers affected areas of Sharjah, Fujairah, Ajman, Dubai and Al Dhafra, with additional rain forecast in eastern and northern parts of the country.

The outlook indicated a continuing chance of showers through Monday, 2 November, along with periods of stronger winds, blowing dust and overnight humidity.

Fog and mist may also develop in some coastal and inland areas, especially in the early morning.

Despite the rain, daytime temperatures remain relatively warm, with highs potentially reaching 38°C in inland locations.

Conditions can vary significantly between emirates and even neighbouring districts, so residents planning long drives, mountain trips or outdoor activities should consult the latest NCM alerts rather than treating the forecast as nationwide.
