The residents of the United Arab Emirates and the tourists from all over the world enjoyed heavy rain on Thursday which brought the temperature down and turned the weather pleasant (“Rain, hail hit parts of UAE, lowest temperature recorded at 14.8°C,” Oct. 26, Gulf Today website).

According to the report, heavy rain with lightning, thunder and hail lashed various areas of the UAE on Thursday. According to the National Centre of Meteorology (NCM), the unstable weather conditions in the country will end on Friday. NCM said that the country is being affected by an extension of a surface depression coinciding with an upper air trough of low pressure from the west, with a relatively humid cold air mass in the upper layers of the atmosphere.

The rain always brings smiles and happiness to the faces of people. People love to enjoy rainy weather and come out on the streets with their families and friends. Being responsible residents of the United Arab Emirates it’s also our responsibility to drive vehicles on the main roads and highways carefully because any small mistake or careless driving can trigger the deadliest disaster, which will turn the happy moments into tragedy.
