Chances of rain in UAE over next 48 hours

Dubai: Another spell of rain and thundershowers is on the horizon as wet weather is expected in the UAE from Monday evening until Tuesday or Wednesday due to a low pressure area.

The amount of clouds will increase on Monday night with a chance of rainfall. The Met Office declined to comment on the areas where it may rain or where the thunderstorms may hit as unstable weather conditions make it difficult to predict which specific areas or emirates will get rain.
