UAE residents can expect some respite from the intense summer heat the country has been seeing over the past week. The emirates recorded highs of 50°C over the last two days, but the weekend temperatures are expected to dip. According to a five-day forecast issued by the National Centre of Meteorology (NCM), rains are likely to fall in some areas on Saturday, Sunday and Monday. The showers in the country’s east and south are expected to bring down the temperatures.

National Emergency, Crisis and Disasters Management Authority (NCEMA), also warned residents about the possibility of rain into next week, posting a notification on social media for the public to be aware.
