Doctors in the UAE have issued an important health warning about the dangers of moisture trapping allergens inside homes after rains. Healthcare experts explain that common indoor allergens such as mould spores, dust mites, and pet dander become more active in humid, closed environments. This increase in allergens can trigger illnesses, especially respiratory problems, for many people.
With recent rains predicted across the UAE, areas including Dubai and Abu Dhabi may see a dip in temperature to around 21ºC. While the rain brings relief from heat, it also raises humidity levels inside homes. Experts advise residents to take extra care in drying wet areas and ventilating their homes well to reduce moisture buildup.
Tips to Reduce Moisture and Allergen Buildup After Rain
- Dry wet areas promptly, including floors, walls, and furniture.
- Increase ventilation by opening windows and using exhaust fans.
- Maintain cleanliness to prevent mould growth.
- Check for visible signs of mould and address them immediately.
Avoiding damp and humid conditions indoors can help prevent allergic reactions and respiratory issues. Doctors encourage the public to be vigilant in maintaining a healthy living environment after rainfall.
