Recently, UAE received rain of different intensity, accompanied by lightning and thunder lashed separate areas of the country on and intermittent fog was formed, due to weather fluctuations, as the region was affected by a superficial air depression from the northeast accompanied by air depression and a cold air mass in the upper layers of the atmosphere, causing the flow of quantities of steam.
The formation of intermittent fog, which lasted for 7 hours started in Razeen in Abu Dhabi, Madinat Zayed, Hameem, Bida and Dafas in the Al Dhafra, and on various parts of the country.
Light rain started at 2.00pm on Wadi Al Qur and the Khatt area in Ras Al Khaimah.
