Dubai expected to experience adverse weather conditions in the coming hours. Dubai Police sent out a public safety alert. The UAE has been experiencing weather fluctuations this week.
Authorities have warned residents to stay away from beaches, refrain from sailing, steer clear of valleys and areas prone to flash floods.
Dubai Police has asked motorists to exercise caution and drive safely.
The UAE is set for several days of unstable weather through the weekend, with the National Centre of Meteorology (NCM) forecasting periods of cloudiness, rainfall, strong winds and rough seas.
Convective clouds are expected to bring rain to islands as well as coastal, northern and eastern areas, while winds may strengthen at times, causing blowing dust, reduced visibility and challenging marine conditions.
The most severe conditions are expected on Thursday and Friday, with scattered heavy rain, lightning and possible hail, wind speeds reaching up to 65 km/h, a drop in temperatures and rough to very rough seas in the Arabian Gulf.

Conditions are forecast to gradually improve from Saturday, with lighter rain possible in some areas and moderating sea conditions by Sunday.
Sheikh Hamdan bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Crown Prince of Dubai, Deputy Prime Minister, Minister of Defence, and Chairman of The Executive Council of Dubai, took to Instagram to caution people just as the Emirates prepares for a few rainy days.
In Insta reels on Wednesday, he zoomed in on rain-heavy clouds that moved slowly above sand dunes. In the next story, he shared a weather map showing the movement of clouds over the next few days.
