Rain in Fujairah creates freak waterfall

Eastern parts of UAE saw heavy rain on Wednesday, with wet weather expected to continue

Dubai: A heavy downpour of rain fell across Fujairah on Wednesday afternoon, and as the weather cools down, more rainfall is expected to continue across other areas of the UAE in the coming days.

The National Centre of Meteorology and Seismology (NCMS) said that convective clouds are expected to develop in the Islands and the northern parts of the UAE by Wednesday night.

Residents living in Fujairah and Khorfakkan have posted up a number of rain videos online, as they welcomed the change in weather.

According to the NCMS, more clouds are expected to form on Thursday that will approach some of the coastal areas between Abu Dhabi and Dubai, as well as the areas between Ras Al Khaimah and Dubai.

However, the weather forecaster said that residents living in the coastal areas are more likely to witness further rainfall than people in the cities, as strong winds and dusty conditions will persist until Friday.
