UAE weather tomorrow: Rains to hit some areas; humid conditions likely
After heavy rains brought welcome relief from the scorching heat across parts of the UAE on Saturday (July 26), residents can expect another round of showers on Sunday (July 27), according to the National Centre of Meteorology (NCM).
