So, what’s the weather looking like?
The forecast hints at mild conditions: fair to partly cloudy skies, some nighttime humidity on Thursday and Friday, and a potential for mist. By Saturday, expect winds to pick up, with some dusty patches and rough seas in the Arabian Gulf. While rain isn’t a guarantee, there might be a surprise—so here’s hoping for some much-needed downpours.
May the prayers bring blessings of rain & mercy for all…
The call for this prayer is a timely reminder of faith, community, and the importance of blessings for the land. As parts of the UAE face dry conditions, Salaat Al Istisqaa brings people together to seek rain for agriculture, the environment, and beyond.
