The United Arab Emirates is currently enduring a stretch of unsettled weather, with several regions experiencing intense downpours and rare hailstorms. According to the National Centre of Meteorology (NCM), this atmospheric instability is the result of a low-pressure system moving in from the southeast, paired with an upper-air trough. Forecasters have warned that this pattern is likely to persist through Saturday, bringing consistent rainfall to the eastern coast before shifting its influence toward the southern and southwestern parts of the country.

The impact of the ongoing weather has been visually striking, with residents capturing footage of natural waterfalls cascading down the mountains near Masfout. While eastern areas like Fujairah have reported significant waterlogging on roadways, traffic continues to flow. Meanwhile, Ras Al Khaimah remains a hotspot for the activity due to its unique mountainous topography. Although meteorologists noted that hailstorms are typically rare for this time of year, citizens have witnessed hail falling for two consecutive days, highlighting the unpredictable nature of this current weather system.
