Rain continued to fall across the UAE well into Friday evening as the low-pressure system over the country began to dissipate.

Heavy showers, thunder, and lightning were reported in Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Ajman and Sharjah, following days of stormy weather.

The National Centre of Meteorology said the country was still experiencing unstable weather.

With widespread flooding across the nation, a major clean-up operation was already under way on Friday and will continue over the weekend, which is forecast to be dry.

Municipal teams are working hard to pump water from key routes and residential communities.
