Dubai: It's the perfect time to sit back and enjoy a cup of steaming hot karak or some Mumbai Masala Chai and your favourite rainy weather snack in Dubai today. Many parts of the emirate saw cloudy skies and rainfall on Tuesday. Hail was reported in Lehbab in the afternoon.

"So far, five cloud seeding flights have been dispatched, we will be sending more flights depending on the formation of clouds," another official from NCM's Cloud Seeding Division, told Gulf News.

The Roads and Transport Authority (RTA) in Dubai also issued a safety alert for motorists, to maintain caution while driving on roads in the rain, to avoid road hazards.

The National Center of Meteorology's alert warned people to stay away from low-lying areas and valleys (wadis), in the northern and eastern regions, prone to flash flooding.

According to the NCM, moderate to strong winds at times will kick up dust in most parts of the country, causing dust storms at times.
