00:00Rain and thunderstorms continue to lash Dubai, Sharjah and other parts of the UAE.

00:12In Dubai, motorists and commuters were among those most affected by the rain, which has

00:17hit different parts of the UAE since Tuesday night.

00:19Rainy weather, this was the first time, this one in March, it's raining, and this winter

00:26it's very cold.

00:27It's a bit crazy, you're in the middle of the desert and it's raining.

00:31Coming here from Europe, we thought we have great weather, and now we have this.

00:37While it has caused misery to motorists and commuters, some Dubai residents and tourists

00:42consider the rain a blessing.

00:44It's really nice, just enjoying the weather.

00:46You like the rain better than the sun?

00:47Yes, definitely.

00:48It's nice, I mean, a little bit different.

00:49I mean, it's okay, but not for too long.

00:50One or two hours is okay, but all day.

00:51We went to see some things, but we cannot go out from the bus.

00:58Meanwhile, the National Center of Meteorology and Seismology said the unstable weather will

01:03continue across the country with cloudy and dusty conditions.

01:06Cloud cover will increase over some areas, causing thunder and hailstorms at times.

01:11Wind speed could increase, becoming stronger at times, kicking up dust and sand in the

01:16open areas.

01:17Tourists as well as fishermen and seafarers have been urged to stay away from the sea

01:21as rough waters are expected.

01:24Boaterists have also been advised to exercise caution while driving in the wet weather.
