The authorities are once again urging people to exercise caution as the wet weather continues in the UAE.

The National Centre of Meteorology has reported heavy rain in Al Ain and in parts of Dubai, Sharjah and Ras Al Khaimah.

It called on residents to stay away from water-logged areas and to comply with safety instructions.

Meanwhile, Abu Dhabi Police are reminding motorists to abide by the speed limits displayed on electronic information boards.

Large parts of the Northern Emirates were hit by record rainfall and devastating floods last week.
