UAE residents are currently enjoying a refreshing respite from the usual heat as rainfall lashed several regions of the country, creating a cool and pleasant atmosphere that persists. On Monday morning, the weather department reported thunderstorm in some parts of the country, accompanied by intense downpours and lightning. Notably, Abu Dhabi, Dubai, Ras Al Khaimah, Fujairah, and Sharjah experienced heavy to moderate rainfall.

Due to the rainfall, water accumulated in main streets, communities, and valleys throughout these regions. In light of this situation, citizens and expats have been advised to take precautions when venturing out. People are urged to avoid flooded areas and valleys for their safety and the risk of getting penalised for breaking the ten weather-related traffic violations. Dubai's Road and Transport Authority (RTA) also sent out advisory to motorist urging them to adhere to guidelines and ensure public safety measurements by slowing down, driving carefully, and using headlights.
