Dubai and Sharjah reported temperatures around 25°C accompanied by ongoing rain showers. Many residents across various emirates experienced water-logged streets, which slowed down traffic and necessitated temporary road closures.
In particular, Sharjah residents commended the local authorities for their swift and efficient response, which helped to prevent severe flooding. Water was cleared promptly, and normal traffic movement was restored within hours.
