Cover a powerful spill United Arab Emirates, famous for their desert landscapes. As the local infrastructure is not at all designed for minor rains, the main roads and streets of the city of Dubai were flooded, reports Associated Press.
The rain started on Tuesday night, turning some streets into large puddles because there was no drainage at all. Due to strong winds and runway flooding, Dubai International Airport, one of the busiest in the world, suspended operations.
Schools in the UAE had been closed since before the storm, and government workers were largely working remotely if they could. Many workers also stayed home, although some went out. The streets are full of abandoned cars – they stopped, “swallowing” water because the drivers obviously didn’t know this was even possible. Several cases of basement and basement flooding have also been reported across the country.
It is noted that more than 120 millimeters of rain fell in the evening in Dubai, which is the annual norm for this desert country. And more is expected in the coming hours. Although the UAE is famous for the classic sand dunes that cover much of the area, the country does get rain – during the cooler winter months. But the intensity cannot be compared with Europe, and even more so with tropical waters.
