The unsettled weather across parts of the UAE will continue into the weekend, forecasters have warned.
The National Centre of Meteorology on Wednesday said to expect showers in eastern and northern parts of the country.
Northwesterly winds reaching 40 kilometres per hour could also whip up waves of upto 1.6 metres.
It follows a period of rain, hail and flash floods that signal the transition to winter.
In Dubai, police told drivers to reduce speed during rain, while Abu Dhabi warned motorists of fines if they were caught snapping photos or taking videos of the weather while at the wheel.
Meanwhile, the NCM have also forecast that winds could kick up dust clouds over some exposed areas.
Maximum temperatures will hit 35°Celsius, while it could sink as low as 13°C in the mountains.
The Arabian Gulf is also forecast to be very rough to very rough in parts.

Haircare resolutions 2021
From Beirut and Amman to London and now Dubai, hairstylist George Massoud has seen the same mistakes made by customers all over the world. In the chair or at-home hair care, here are the resolutions he wishes his customers would make for the year ahead.
1. 'I will seek consultation from professionals'
You may know what you want, but are you sure it’s going to suit you? Haircare professionals can tell you what will work best with your skin tone, hair texture and lifestyle.
2. 'I will tell my hairdresser when I’m not happy'
Massoud says it’s better to offer constructive criticism to work on in the future. Your hairdresser will learn, and you may discover how to communicate exactly what you want more effectively the next time.
3. ‘I will treat my hair better out of the chair’
Damage control is a big part of most hairstylists’ work right now, but it can be avoided. Steer clear of over-colouring at home, try and pursue one hair brand at a time and never, ever use a straightener on still drying hair, pleads Massoud.

How to wear a kandura
Dos
- Wear the right fabric for the right season and occasion
- Always ask for the dress code if you don’t know
- Wear a white kandura, white ghutra / shemagh (headwear) and black shoes for work
- Wear 100 per cent cotton under the kandura as most fabrics are polyester
Don’ts
- Wear hamdania for work, always wear a ghutra and agal
- Buy a kandura only based on how it feels; ask questions about the fabric and understand what you are buying
