According to the NCMS, similar weather is expected on Wednesday, with increased cloud amounts and a chance of some rain over islands and western or coastal areas of the UAE. Moderate to fresh winds are also expected, which may cause dust to be blown over exposed areas. Waves will be "rough to very rough" in the Arabian Sea and the Sea of Oman.

On Thursday, there is a chance of light rain, particularly in the morning. Many local residents have taken to social media to express their satisfaction with the weather.

"Rain equals happiness in the UAE. Definitely working in the backyard this afternoon!" wrote one Dubai-based Instagram user.

"Finally it rains in Dubai!" tweeted another local resident. "What amazing weather!"

"If only one could capture the smell," remarked one man.

Many others, however, urged their fellow residents to be cautious when driving in the rain.

"Live accidents happening from my balcony," tweeted a Dubai resident. "Please be extra cautious than usual."

"Reduce speeds and be extra careful Dubai drivers," he added. "Just drifted while taking a U-turn."
