Unstable weather conditions are expected across the UAE in the coming days, with rainfall, thunder and possible hail forecast in some areas, according to the National Centre of Meteorology (NCM). The NCM said the country will be affected by atmospheric instability, with cloud systems moving in from the west. These conditions are expected to form convective cloud cells over scattered areas, bringing rainfall of varying intensity. Residents can expect occasional thunder and lightning, with a chance of hail in limited areas until March 27. On Saturday (March 21), light to moderate rainfall is expected across scattered areas, becoming heavier in northern and eastern regions and in Al Ain during the daytime. Similar conditions are forecast on Sunday (March 22), with convective clouds bringing rain, particularly in northern and eastern parts of the country. Rainfall activity is expected to continue on Monday (March 23) and Tuesday (March 24) across most areas, while Wednesday (March 25) may see cloud formations with a chance of rain in some northern and eastern regions.
