The UAE recently experienced unusual weather conditions, including rains and tornado-like ‘gustnado’ dust storms in various parts of the country. While these gustnadoes are less destructive than full-scale tornadoes, they can still lift sand and debris, causing significant visibility issues and increasing risks for drivers.
The sudden storms and heavy rains have surprised many residents, disrupting normal activities and traffic flow. Experts caution that although gustnadoes are brief, their strong winds and swirling dust can adversely affect transportation and outdoor work.
Safety Advice and Precautions
Authorities recommend that people:
- Stay alert during these extreme weather events.
- Avoid unnecessary travel when gustnadoes or dust storms occur.
- Take precautions to secure property.
- Protect their eyes and respiratory systems during dust storms.
Officials are actively monitoring weather conditions to issue timely warnings and ensure public safety.
