On Sunday, light to heavy rain fell in various parts of the country, including Souq Al Juma'ah in Masafi. This was due to the country being affected by a weak surface low-pressure system extending from the east, as well as a high-pressure system extending from the west and an upper-level high-pressure system.
The UAE coasts, particularly around Khorfakkan, also experienced a significant increase in wave activity due to the indirect impact of Cyclone Shakti, centred in the north-eastern Arabian Sea.
The cyclone's effects are gradually becoming apparent in the country in the form of sea roughness and increased wave activity in the eastern regions.
The National Centre of Meteorology (NCM) has expected humid weather on Monday morning over some coastal and inland areas, with a chance of fog or light mist forming.
The sky will be clear to partly cloudy. Clouds will move eastwards in the afternoon. Northwesterly to northeasterly, the winds will be light to moderate, ranging from 10 to 25 km/h and reaching 30 km/h. Sea waves will be light in the Arabian Gulf and the Sea of Oman.
