Watch: Heavy rains, strong winds lash Al Ain amid UAE peak summer

While most UAE residents swelter in the scorching August heat as temperatures reached 51.8°C on August 1, those in Al Ain city got a chance to enjoy some rain on Sunday. In general, weather conditions in the country are expected to get even hotter during the current peak summer phase, which is called Al Mirzam and is set to end on August 10. Videos shared online by the Storm Centre captured scenes of heavy rainfall falling in Umm Ghafa, a residential area in the city of Al Ain, Abu Dhabi. The unsettled weather was accompanied by strong winds that swept through the area, causing trees to sway and adding to the intensity of the weather conditions. The combination of heavy showers and gusty conditions created challenging driving situations for motorists.

'This is a normal phenomenon happening around this time of the year,' said Dr Ahmed Habib, meteorologist at the National Centre of Meteorology (NCM). 'It typically occurs from mid-July to mid-August, with alternating days of active weather and light or no rainfall.' According to the veteran meteorologist, the recent weather activity is linked to a combination of atmospheric systems, including a low-pressure system moving in from the East, moisture-laden air from the Arabian Sea, and the northward shift of the Intertropical Convergence Zone (ITCZ).

Abu Dhabi Police urge caution on roads amid heavy summer rain

Abu Dhabi Police on Sunday called for caution on the roads as summer rainfall hits parts of the emirate. The force took to social media to instruct drivers to take extra care "due to the rainy weather" and follow the "changing speed limits displayed on electronic information boards". The National Centre of Meteorology issued a yellow warning of the potential for rain over some eastern and southern areas – mainly in Abu Dhabi emirate – from 2.30pm to 8pm. The NCM also warned of a chance for rain on Monday. August may be peak summer but parts of the country have been hit by downpours over the past week. Videos posted to Storm Centre, a social media account that tracks UAE weather, on Sunday showed heavy rain falling on areas east of Al Ain. Such rain can be caused by a low-pressure systems from the south-east bringing moisture-laden air in from the Arabian Sea, the NCM said. These systems meet the mountains on the UAE's east coast, the air rises then meets a relatively cooler layer, potentially bringing rain.
