Wednesday marks the third continuous day of rains in the UAE. Videos circulating on social media show how the downpour makes its way down the sides of mountains, creating waterfalls.

Rains caused roads to become wet, and even flood in some areas.

The National Centre of Meteorology in the UAE (NCM) and police forces in various emirates have issued warnings and advisories, asking motorists to stay careful while driving.

NCM has issued an advisory to people in the UAE to stay safe for the next couple of days, particularly when conducting outdoor activities and driving. Yellow and orange alerts have been issued for most of the country.

Skies will be partly cloudy to cloudy at times, accompanied by some convective clouds associated with rainfall during the daytime - especially over coastal, northern and eastern areas.

Temperatures are set to reach 25°C in Abu Dhabi and 24°C in Dubai. The emirates will see lows of 17°C and 16°C respectively.

Moderate to fresh winds will blow. The sea will be rough to very rough at times in the Arabian Gulf and moderate to rough in the the Oman Sea.
