For the third consecutive day, and as UAE residents celebrate Eid Al-Adha, rainfall ranging from light to heavy has fallen across various parts of the country, adding to the joy of the holiday.
Rains were reported by the National Centre of Meteorology (NCM) in areas including Fujairah's Wadi Al Sidr which saw heavy showers.
Ras Al Khaimah's Masafi and Sharjah's Khor Fakkan road and Wadi Shees also saw some rains, as the weather authority issued yellow and orange alerts of convective clouds formation.
On Saturday, refreshing rainfall hit various areas of the country, triggering waterfalls and causing wadis to overflow, while some residents played in the rain.
The showers provided residents with a respite from the scorching temperatures, which have been steadily climbing ahead of the summer solstice on June 21.
