Record Flooding in Dubai After 10 Inches of Rain
Dubai, the financial center of the Middle East, has been paralyzed by torrential rain that has caused widespread flooding.
As of Tuesday afternoon, more than 142mm (5.59 inches) of rain had fallen in Dubai, the equivalent of a year's worth of rainfall. The intense downpour has led to severe flooding and flash floods across the city, disrupting transportation and businesses.
Videos and images circulating on social media show flooded streets, submerged cars, and stranded residents. The Dubai Police have urged people to stay indoors and avoid unnecessary travel. The city's public transportation system has been disrupted, and many roads and highways have been closed due to flooding.
The flooding has also caused power outages in some areas, as well as disruptions to water and telecommunications services. The Dubai Electricity and Water Authority (DEWA) is working to restore power and water supply as soon as possible.
In neighboring Oman, the flooding has been even more severe, resulting in at least 19 deaths since Sunday. Rescuers in Oman have found the body of a girl in the town of Saham, bringing the death toll in the country to 19. The Omani authorities have declared a state of emergency and have deployed emergency response teams to assist with rescue and recovery efforts.
The heavy rains in Dubai and Oman are part of a larger weather system that has brought heavy rainfall and flooding to several countries in the Gulf region and the Middle East. The weather system is expected to continue over the next few days, and residents in affected areas are advised to stay informed about weather forecasts and follow the instructions of local authorities.
