Jul 31, (Emirates 247): Residents of Dubai and Sharjah woke up to a pleasant Friday morning, with many enjoying the drizzles.

The National Centre of Meteorology and Seismology in its forecast says the skies will be partly cloudy to cloudy at times over some areas.

The cloud cover will increase by afternoon over some areas especially the eastern and the southern parts and may associate with some rainfall, added NCMS forecast.

A Sharjah resident told ‘Emirates24|7’, the drizzles lasted at least half-an-hour in the morning.

Visibility may be affected with moderate winds freshening at times causing blowing dust, says NCMS.
