From May 19 to 22, UAE's National Centre of Meteorology (NCM) predicted rain in the east and west.

There will be a lot of cloud cover during this period. In a statement, the NCM said clouds are likely to move from the west to the east, with rainfall predicted “over the period".

Traffic violations and fines were announced earlier today by the Ministry of Interior to improve safety during emergencies and unstable weather conditions. It is now prohibited to gather near or enter valleys during the rain.

Meanwhile, the NCM said temperatures will decrease in some coastal and internal areas tomorrow (Friday). However, the mercury will rise the following day.
