Residents of the UAE experienced a rare morning surprise as a strong low-pressure system hit the region, bringing hail and rain. Videos from Al Rams and northern Ras Al Khaimah showed streets covered in small hailstones. Parts of Fujairah and Al Ain saw overnight rainfall, creating a cool, misty atmosphere. The National Center of Meteorology (NCM) explained that cold air from the north met moist air from the Red Sea, leading to rain and hail. Temperatures have dropped across the country: coastal and island areas are now between 20°C and 24°C, internal regions range from 22°C to 26°C, and in Jebel Jais, temperatures stay cold between 12°C and 18°C. Authorities warned drivers to slow down and be cautious as rain and wind continue to affect visibility, with blowing dust possible on open roads. The sea is forecast to be moderate to rough, which could impact boats and beach activities. The NCM said the rain may continue today in northern and eastern areas but will weaken later. However, thick fog is expected on Tuesday and Wednesday mornings, especially in internal and coastal zones, which could reduce visibility for early travelers. Drivers and commuters are advised to plan extra time for journeys during this unsettled weather.
