The UAE is renowned for its extreme weather conditions and the Emirati National Center of Meteorology warned regarding a weather change in many cities in the UAE. Corresponding to the weather warning, Dubai is filled with flooded streets due to heavy rains on Monday. Although the Dubai Police acted rapidly by sending safety alerts via mobile phones to stay precautionary while driving and avoid beaches and valleys, traffic jams and difficulty in traveling were still obvious. 

Heavy rains flood roads in Dubai, blocking the way, and a diversion is lifted on Dubai’s Sheikh Zayed Road to manage water accumulation. Everyone is advised to use alternative routes for their travel needs. The authorities have already implemented changes like working from home until February 13 and online classes on February 13 to ensure the safety of the residents. 

Road blockages happened in the town of Sharjah as well due to heavy rains. The steps implemented in Dubai are implemented across the cities impacted due to the floods in UAE and the instructions are for traffic diversion and safety measures while traveling. 

The Dubai Airport is considered to be one of the most hi-tech airports on the globe. But the Dubai flood managed to escape those technologies and out-of-the-world innovations as well. A video went viral on social media where the pavements of the airport are seen filled with water and the passengers making use of raincoats. 

Just two days of heavy rain have undoubtedly caused havoc in the town of Dubai. Authoritative steps like instructions for the drivers traversing the Jebel Ali stretch to use different routes, special teams to clear the flooded streets, traffic diversions, flexible working patterns, and 1000 certificates for the motorists who experienced damage caused during the Dubai flood helped the residents calm down. Now, the town is all set to come back to normal, all thanks to the rapid decisions by the authorities!
