Been hearing the same. Lots of rain up by Arabian Ranches and making its way south/south west.

Not looking forward to the drive home from AUH!

Well, we had about 5 spots of rain where we were. However got home to find the garden upside-down.

It rained in al quoz for 10-15 mins or so. More of a light shower really, I reckon it was because I'd filled my washer bottle the day before.

Blimey though the roads aren't have slippy with a bit of rain on them.

Big storm at my place in The Villa, sandstorm, torrential rain, lightning etc.

Ripped a few tiles off the roof, pool full of sand, again!

One decapitated date palm and a lamp post leaning over on the road I use to get to the house.
