UAE weather: Heavy rain hits Sharjah as NCM forecasts four days of afternoon showers

## Rainfall in Sharjah

Heavy rain affected parts of Sharjah on Monday, particularly on Al Dhaid Road, Al Maliha Road, and Khor Fakkan Road. This marks the start of a forecasted four-day period of afternoon showers across the UAE, primarily impacting the eastern and southern regions.

## Weather Conditions

The National Centre of Meteorology (NCM) attributes the unstable weather to a surface low-pressure system from the east, combined with a weak upper-level low. These conditions are conducive to the formation of convective clouds in the afternoons. Winds are expected to vary from light to moderate, with speeds between 10–25 km/h, potentially reaching 40 km/h inland, causing dust in open areas.

## Temperature and Safety Warnings

While rain is anticipated in some regions, temperatures in other parts of the UAE could soar to 50°C. The NCM advises caution, urging drivers to be careful during rainfall and to avoid areas susceptible to flash floods. Residents are also warned to stay away from open spaces during thunderstorms and to be cautious of strong winds that could reduce visibility and move loose objects.

## Official Guidance

The public is encouraged to follow official weather updates from the NCM and to avoid spreading unverified information. Staying informed through reliable sources is crucial during these weather conditions.
