The Emirati National Centre of Meteorology released a weather alert for numerous UAE towns. On Monday, Dubai saw floods and road blockages due to heavy rains.
Because the drainage systems could not handle the amount of rain, cars were left stranded in standing water.
The Emirati National Centre of Meteorology issued a weather warning for numerous UAE cities, and it was in effect until Tuesday at noon.
Mobile devices were utilized by Dubai Police to disseminate safety alerts, warning citizens to avoid valleys and beaches and to drive carefully.
Government ministries took safety precautions in reaction to the weather, which included pushing businesses and schools to transition to remote work and study.

In another statement issued just after 6 am on Wednesday, the RTA stated that traffic was “back to normal.”
