Weathermen on Thursday expect mostly sunny weather over most parts of the country, including the western region. The northern and eastern parts may experience partially cloudy weather while chances of rain remain in Fujairah and Ras Al Khaimah on Thursday, according the the weather bulletin of the National Centre of Meteorology and Seismology.
