00:19Abu Dhabi and parts of Ajman are experiencing heavy rain and thunderstorms.
00:26Streets are flooded, traffic is slow, and daily life is disrupted.
00:32Emergency crews are working to clear roads and keep residents safe.
00:38Some areas received nearly a year's worth of rainfall in a single day.
00:44Al-Manama in Ajman recorded 93.3 mm, Gayathi 91 mm, and Al-Wathba near Abu Dhabi 88.2 mm.
00:58Other locations, including Mohammed bin Zayed City and Al-Ruais, saw 78.7 mm and 75.7 mm of rain.
01:10The UAE normally receives only about 100 mm of rain each year, making this storm highly unusual.
01:21Flooded roads, strong winds, and low visibility make emergency response even more challenging.
01:29Authorities advise residents to stay indoors, avoid low-lying areas, and follow official updates.
01:38Meanwhile, the Gulf region is under additional pressure as Iran's missile and drone attacks continue in neighboring countries, including Saudi
01:49Arabia.
01:50Security forces are managing both the threat of conflict and extreme weather at the same time.
01:57Flights at Dubai and Abu Dhabi airports are delayed or suspended due to the storm, and road diversions remain in
02:06place.
02:07This unusual combination of severe weather and regional tensions shows how natural events and geopolitical conflicts can disrupt daily life.
02:19Residents are urged to stay alert, follow safety instructions, and exercise caution.
02:30Great question.
