NCM: Rainfall expected in parts of UAE until July 28
According to the NCM, convective clouds are expected to form over eastern and southern areas of the country, with chances of some areas experiencing hail, lightning and thunder.
The weather is attributed to the influence of the Intertropical Convergence Zone (ITCZ) moving northward, along with low-pressure systems and humid air masses from the Arabian Sea and the Sea of Oman. These conditions, combined with rising daytime temperatures and mountainous terrain, are increasing the likelihood of rainstorms.
Winds are expected to be southeasterly to northeasterly, moderate to strong at times, particularly near convective clouds. Blowing dust and sand may reduce visibility in affected areas.
The sea is expected to be slightly rough in both the Arabian Gulf and the Sea of Oman, the NCM added.

UAE weather tomorrow: Fair to partly cloudy day; dusty conditions expected
The weather on Tuesday, July 29, is expected to be fair to partly cloudy and hazy at times, as per a forecast by the National Centre of Meteorology (NCM). Clouds are set to appear towards eastward and southward regions, possibly becoming convective by afternoon. Over the past week, heavy rains, storms and even hail have hit some areas of the country, bringing residents respite from soaring summer temperatures. Light to moderate southeasterly winds are expected to blow, becoming northwesterly, freshening at times during the day, causing blowing dust, with a speed of 10-25 km/hr, reaching 40 km/hr. The sea will be slight in the Arabian Gulf and in the Oman Sea. Temperatures are expected to drop to a low of 28°C in areas like Ras Al Khaimah's Jebel Jais and reach a high of 50°C in Abu Dhabi's Mezaira area.

UAE weather: Temperature to hit 49°C on Monday and more rain on the way
Rain is expected to fall in parts of the UAE on Monday into Tuesday, bringing the risk of potentially hazardous driving conditions. Most of the country will continue to experience hot and dry conditions. The temperature is forecast to climb to a high of 43°C along coastal areas and reach 49°C in the inner regions of Al Ain and southern Abu Dhabi. It will be cloudy at times, with possible showers in Al Ain on Monday, and further clouds and more rain forecast inland on Tuesday. Abu Dhabi authorities recently issued a reminder to motorists about driving in heavy rain, after unseasonal wet weather hit Al Dhafra and Al Ain. The Abu Dhabi Media Office advised motorists to stick to modified speed limits, avoid valleys, carry first aid kits, and prepare alternative light sources in case of vehicle break down. The National Centre of Meteorology on Sunday issued a yellow alert - calling for people to be 'on the lookout' over the prospect of rainfall - in remote desert areas of Abu Dhabi, large parts of Al Ain and Fujairah. A more severe orange alert, which cautions against expected 'hazardous' weather events, covers some sections of Al Ain. Both weather notices are in place until 8pm on Sunday. After the wettest year on record in 2024, this year has been much drier. So far, the overall rainfall in the UAE has been three times lower than at this point last year, and 38 per cent less than the historic average. Rain in the UAE - in pictures
