Heavy rains flood roads in Dubai

A second wave of thunderstorms bringing torrential rain and even hail across much of the UAE is forecast for Tuesday afternoon. This will first reach the west of the country with much of Abu Dhabi and Dubai bearing the brunt of the storm, said by the National Centre of Meteorology (NCM).
Adverse weather conditions are expected to continue into Wednesday morning, with convective clouds that bring rainfall and lightning forming over coastal areas – particularly in the north and east of the country. According to the NCM, residents are urged to follow safety measures while the bad weather persists.
