Several areas of the UAE experienced a massive storm on Wednesday (October 23), with multiple tornado-like formations appearing. Huge dust devils resembling tornadoes were seen in Kalba and Ras Al Khaimah in videos shared by the National Centre of Meteorology on Wednesday. Rain was visible as massive dust formations swirled across the area.
In another video, lightning hits the ground as cars stop on the road just before a big storm. The video shows a huge cloud of dust rising up, with cars and people nearby on the road.
Rain, along with hail and dust storms, has been hitting Abu Dhabi, Sharjah, Ras Al Khaimah, and Fujairah. Authorities in Abu Dhabi warned residents on social media about moderate to heavy rains in Al Ain and shared safety tips for drivers. According to an earlier forecast by UAE's Met Department, moist air from the Arabian Sea would move toward the country on Thursday and Friday. At the same time, a weak low-pressure system in the upper air, along with cooler air, will cause some clouds to form. These clouds could lead to more stormy weather. FLE/Expat Media
