Al Ain and its surrounding areas experienced severe rainfall on Thursday, leading to widespread flooding and hazardous driving conditions. The National Centre of Meteorology (NCM) had earlier forecasted a period of rainy weather due to a low-pressure system affecting the UAE. The downpour was particularly intense in desert and mountainous regions, creating mini waterfalls and transforming roads into streams. Videos circulating on social media captured cars navigating through waterlogged streets with windshield wipers working tirelessly against the relentless rain. The NCM issued orange and yellow alerts for the eastern parts of the country, urging residents and visitors to exercise caution and adhere to official guidance. Authorities have emphasized the importance of staying updated with the latest weather advisories to ensure safety during this challenging weather event.
