UAE weather: more rain predicted to hit on Monday


Patrick Ryan
  • English
  • Arabic

The UAE’s weather bureau has predicted more rain could hit the country early next week.

The National Centre of Meteorology has forecast “the probability of some light rainfall” on Monday.

It was only last week the country was left counting the cost of the worst flooding to hit the UAE in years.

Three days of high winds and heavy rain had forced hundreds to flee their homes while traffic was brought to a standstill.

While more rain was predicted for next week, there was some consolation in the fact it was not expected to be as severe as recent downpours.

The rain was expected to hit northern parts of the country, coastal areas in particular.

Dirham Stretcher tips for having a baby in the UAE

Selma Abdelhamid, the group's moderator, offers her guide to guide the cost of having a young family:

• Buy second hand stuff

 They grow so fast. Don't get a second hand car seat though, unless you 100 per cent know it's not expired and hasn't been in an accident.

• Get a health card and vaccinate your child for free at government health centres

 Ms Ma says she discovered this after spending thousands on vaccinations at private clinics.

• Join mum and baby coffee mornings provided by clinics, babysitting companies or nurseries.

Before joining baby classes ask for a free trial session. This way you will know if it's for you or not. You'll be surprised how great some classes are and how bad others are.

• Once baby is ready for solids, cook at home

Take the food with you in reusable pouches or jars. You'll save a fortune and you'll know exactly what you're feeding your child.
