Snow Fall In UAE
Dubai, Jan. 26: A blanket of snow has covered a mountain in a part of the United Arab Emirates, a rare phenomenon for the desert Gulf country, local media reported on Sunday.
Al-Jees mountain, 5,700 feet (1,737 metres) above sea level and 25 km (15 miles) northeast of Ras al-Khaimah city, was covered in 20 centimetres (eight inches) of snow, the state news agency WAM said.
"Although limited snowfall was recorded on the mountain some years back, for the first time the peak of the mountain was fully covered in snow," it said.
Local authorities said temperatures plunged to minus-3 degrees Celsius (26.6 Fahrenheit) on Friday and again to below zero on Saturday, The National newspaper reported.
Major Said al-Yamahi of Ras al-Khaimah police told the newspaper that an area of five square kilometres was covered in snow.
