Rainfall swept through parts of Al Ain on Monday evening, including Sa'a, Al Fou'ah, and Khatm Al Shakla road, as unsettled summer weather persisted. Videos captured the downpour in Sa'a and along Khatm Al Shakla, with reports of heavy rain in Al Ain. The rainfall followed days of rain across the country despite scorching August temperatures.
The showers marked the traditional appearance of Suhail, an astronomical marker in the Arabian Peninsula signaling the beginning of the gradual retreat of intense summer heat. However, this seasonal change does not signify an immediate end to high temperatures. The transition is expected to unfold over several weeks, with nights becoming less hot and extreme daytime temperatures less persistent.
The current pattern of moderate to heavy summer rain in several UAE regions, including Dubai and Al Ain, continues.
