As residents of the UAE celebrate the beginning of the Eid holiday, they were greeted with a welcome break from the rising heat, as rain showers swept across various parts of the country on Friday, June 6.
Storm Centre shared several videos capturing the rainfall in Khor Fakkan. In one clip, raindrops were seen obstructing the view through a car’s windshield, while another showed drizzle falling gently over the city, as dark clouds gathered ominously overhead.
The National Centre of Meteorology (NCM) had earlier forecasted that certain regions would experience rain during the holiday weekend.
This downpour provided a refreshing respite from the scorching temperatures, which have been steadily climbing ahead of the summer solstice on June 21.
The hot and humid conditions have left many hoping for a temporary reprieve from the sweltering weather.
The NCM also recorded the lowest temperature of the day at 5.45am, a cool 16.6ºC — offering a brief but much-needed reprieve from the usual heat.
