Unusual weather patterns have gripped the United Arab Emirates (UAE) as rare floods inundate various regions across the country. From the capital city of Abu Dhabi to bustling urban centers like Dubai, Sharjah, Ajman, Ras Al Khaimah, and Fujairah, heavy rains have caused flooding, although no casualties or significant damages have been reported thus far.
Reports from Khiliji Times indicate that the entire Emirates witnessed overcast skies at 7:45 am on Saturday, followed by a deluge of heavy rainfall. The downpour intensified as lightning illuminated the skies over Al Ain and later Ajman, adding to the atmospheric spectacle.
According to the National Center for Meteorology, Al Khawaniz and Umm Hurair in Dubai experienced the brunt of the morning's heavy rainfall, with other parts of the city soon succumbing to the deluge. Floodwaters have begun seeping into residential areas, accompanied by hailstorms, although authorities assure that the situation remains under control.
Meteorological authorities have forecasted continued rainfall across the country until Sunday, signaling the persistence of the inclement weather. Despite the challenges posed by the rare floods, UAE residents and authorities remain vigilant and prepared to address any emergent situations as the country navigates through this unusual weather phenomenon.
