Light rain forecast across UAE coasts and islands for four days

Light rain is expected to affect parts of the UAE’s coastal areas and islands over the next four days, starting Monday, the National Centre of Meteorology (NCM) said.

The forecast comes as the country is influenced by weak surface pressure systems, accompanied by an upper-air high-pressure extension, bringing unsettled conditions, cooler temperatures and occasional dusty winds, particularly in western regions.
