Rainfall touches East Coast, expected to continue till Saturday

 Light to heavy rain fell on Friday on Khorfakkan, Fujairah, and Kalba on the East Coast, and is expected to continue till Saturday in some eastern and northern areas. 

This is due to the country being affected by an extension of a weak surface low-pressure system from the east and a high-pressure system from the west, accompanied by an extension of a weak upper-air low-pressure system, according to the National Centre of Meteorology (NCM). 

The NCM predicted Saturday's weather to be clear to partly cloudy with the appearance of low clouds over some eastern and northern areas and a chance of rain, and humid in the morning with a chance of light fog formation over some internal areas. 

Winds will be southeasterly to northeasterly, light to moderate in speed, sometimes active, with speeds from 10 to 25, amounting to 35 km/h. The waves will be light to moderate in the Arabian Gulf and in the Sea of Oman, according to the NCM. 

Sunday's weather is expected to be clear to partly cloudy with the appearance of low clouds over some eastern and northern areas, a slight increase in temperatures, and humid in the morning with a chance of light fog formation over some coastal areas.
