In Dubai and Abu Dhabi, there should be a chill in the air in the mornings before temperatures rise above 20ºC.
Heavy showers fell in Al Bahia in Abu Dhabi and in Al Ain’s Nahil area, both home to some of the country's biggest farms.
More moderate rain fell in central Dubai and Abu Dhabi.
At Expo City Dubai, where families enjoyed the Christmas market, a brief 30-minute shower failed to dampen the district's winter festival launch.
The National Centre of Meteorology issued a warning of further rain, along with winds of up to 45 kilometres an hour on Sunday.
It also forecasts a very rough Arabian Gulf, so beachgoers and swimmers should take care.
There will be highs of 29ºC and lows of 11ºC next week.
On Jebel Jais, the temperature dropped to 7.2ºC at 2.15am, the coldest spot in the country.

How the bonus system works
The two riders are among several riders in the UAE to receive the top payment of £10,000 under the Thank You Fund of £16 million (Dh80m), which was announced in conjunction with Deliveroo's £8 billion (Dh40bn) stock market listing earlier this year.
The £10,000 (Dh50,000) payment is made to those riders who have completed the highest number of orders in each market.
There are also riders who will receive payments of £1,000 (Dh5,000) and £500 (Dh2,500).
All riders who have worked with Deliveroo for at least one year and completed 2,000 orders will receive £200 (Dh1,000), the company said when it announced the scheme.
