The NCM has also issued orange and yellow alerts for convective clouds affecting parts of the country, particularly Al Ain and the Al Dhafra region.
As unstable weather conditions persisted, the NCM issued an advisory urging the public to take precautions.
“Precautions should be taken during strong convective cloud activity associated with rainfall and strong descending wind over some internal areas. Loose objects and weak structures may become hazardous due to the strong winds and can reduce horizontal visibility. Please stay away from areas of accumulated rain,” it said.
