Several parts of the UAE got to enjoy pleasant weather, cloudy skies and some lucky peeps even got to witness the pure joy of ACTUAL RAIN in the country over the weekend.

Ahead of the 6-day long Eid break, the rain gods blessed the country with temporary sweater weather as light rains are set to persist throughout the day.

The UAE’s weather body, the National Centre of Meteorology (NCM), clarified that the rainy convective cloud formations throughout the country are a result of cloud seeding.

UAE peeps flooded social media with excited stories of the weather as the downpour brought some much-needed relief from the summer heatwave
