The National Centre of Meteorology (NCM) has warned of an oncoming unstable weather condition set to hit the UAE from Wednesday, May 1.

The NCM notified of a low pressure system coming in from the Red Sea followed by another low pressure system from the Northwest that will bring heavy rain to most parts of the country.

The weather system will bring moderate to heavy rainfall along with thunder and lightning starting Wednesday. This system would cover most parts of the country on Thursday, May 2.
