Arab Weather - Last week, many Emirati cities witnessed an exceptional rain event, as heavy rains swept over them, submerging many areas of the country in general. These heavy rains are considered the highest in at least 75 years, as their quantity reached more than what fell during an entire year during the period. Shortly for 24 hours, these rains disrupted the daily lives of many, with runways flooded, water seeping into shopping malls, and elevators stopping in high-rise residential towers, and with residents unable to return to their homes due to blocked roads, some of them were forced to stay in their cars all night, despite... All these challenges, emergency services worked around the clock to deal with the situation.
