Dubai residents, hold onto your hats and grab your umbrellas because we’ve got some exciting news for you! It’s looking cloudy, grey, and windy, with a chance of light rainfall on Wednesday, Thursday, and Saturday nights. Especially in the northern emirates. And if that’s not enough to wet your whistle, authorities are expecting some fog and mist to roll in on Friday, March 24.

The UAE woke up to a cloudy and overcast sky on Tuesday morning, but soon enough, raindrops started falling, thunder rumbled, and lightning lit up the sky as temperatures dipped to a cool 19ºC. And boy, did we get some serious rain… and HAIL (in various parts of the city such as Bur Dubai, Deira, Al Nahda, Al Qusais and etc.)!

Authorities have sent out notifications to residents, alerting them of the adverse weather conditions and advising them to stay lear of beaches and areas prone to floods as heavy rain and hail hit Dubai
