Intense Thunderstorms Hit Dubai, UAE - Tuesday, 16 April 2024

The UAE is currently experiencing a significant weather event with a second wave of thunderstorms bringing torrential rains across the region on Tuesday afternoon. Dubai has been particularly affected, witnessing heavy rainfall accompanied by lightning. The severe weather has led to power outages in some areas and numerous road closures as emergency services tackle the conditions.

The adverse weather is expected to persist into Wednesday morning, with convective clouds forecasted to continue generating rainfall and lightning, especially along the northern and eastern coastal areas. These conditions are anticipated to improve by noon on Wednesday.

Amidst this, Dubai International Airport had to temporarily halt operations for 25 minutes on Tuesday due to the severe conditions, though flights have since resumed. However, major flooding on roads leading to the airport has been reported, and disruptions are expected to continue until tomorrow morning. Travelers are advised to check their flight status and consider using the Dubai Metro for more reliable transit.

In response to the weather, private schools in Dubai will continue with remote learning on Wednesday, and government employees will also work remotely. The Dubai government is urging private sector entities to adopt similar remote working arrangements to ensure safety.

Additionally, the Dubai Metro's Red Line experienced service disruptions between UAE Exchange and Dubai Internet City stations, with alternative bus services provided for affected passengers.
