- Orange and yellow alerts are in effect as the NCM forecasts scattered showers today with partly to mostly cloudy skies.
- Temperatures are set to range around 21–30°C in Abu Dhabi and about 22–31°C in Dubai, with mild afternoons and cooler nights.
- Videos from Storm Centre showed heavy downpours in Abu Dhabi, including Souq Al Jumeirah near Musaffah Road, with overflowing stretches in Dhafra and reduced visibility on Habshan Road.
- Motorists were urged to avoid non‑essential travel during rain, drive cautiously with low‑beam headlights, and follow official updates and instructions.
