Summer Rains Offer Respite Across the UAE as Authorities Issue Safety Alerts

Wed, Jun 24, 2026(90d ago)UAE

Recent summer showers have swept across parts of the UAE, particularly in the eastern regions, providing a welcome break from the relentless desert heat. As dark, convective clouds gather over the mountainous areas, the National Centre of Meteorology (NCM) has forecasted light to moderate rainfall, with potential for heavier bursts—particularly around Al Ain—through June 25. This transition into the local "Rawayeh" season is expected to bring scattered precipitation and a temporary dip in temperatures, offering a brief reprieve before the peak of the summer heat arrives.

While the rain is a refreshing change, officials are urging the public to remain vigilant. The unstable weather is likely to bring strong winds that may stir up dust, significantly reducing road visibility and creating hazardous driving conditions. Motorists are advised to strictly adhere to variable speed limits displayed on electronic signs and follow all safety protocols. Furthermore, residents should steer clear of wadis and low-lying valley areas, as these locations are prone to flash flooding during intense downpours. By prioritizing caution, the public can safely enjoy this rare wet weather before temperatures return to their typical summer extremes.
