The UAE Ministry of Interior has issued a nationwide weather alert, warning of unsettled conditions expected to bring rain, thunderstorms, lightning, hail and strong winds across the country.
The ministry urged motorists to slow down and stay alert, particularly in areas experiencing reduced visibility. “With unsettled weather expected across the country, please exercise caution, follow safety guidelines, reduce speed while driving, and stay away from valley channels and areas where water collects,” it said.
Residents were also advised to stay away from wadis, where rainwater can accumulate or surge rapidly, and to avoid beaches and open sea during the period of instability. The ministry stressed that public safety is its highest priority.
Rain has already been reported in parts of Sharjah, including Mleiha, Al Madam and Al Badayer. Residents have been encouraged to monitor official updates and adjust their plans accordingly.
