Dubai faced heavy rains that led to significant flooding on many roads. In response, police and emergency teams worked overnight to clear the flooded roads and manage traffic effectively. According to Brigadier bin Fares, their top priorities included:
- Protecting lives
- Restoring traffic flow on important routes
- Securing homes
- Maintaining public safety
The emergency teams acted swiftly to clear the affected areas, aiming to prevent accidents and ensure that residents could travel safely during the adverse weather.
The rainfall caused some traffic disruptions citywide, but the fast actions by the police helped minimize delays. Residents were advised to drive carefully and follow all safety instructions. Additionally, the teams worked to maintain calm and order on the streets amidst the challenging weather conditions.
As weather conditions improved, Dubai Municipality reopened beaches and parks; however, residents were encouraged to continue observing safety precautions. In other parts of the UAE, such as Fujairah, a motorist suffered injuries after a vehicle rollover caused by wet road surfaces. The injured driver was promptly transferred to a hospital for treatment.
