Sharjah City Municipality has activated full-scale emergency protocols as the United Arab Emirates braces for intensified rainfall and unstable weather patterns expected through December 19th, 2025. The authority has mobilized specialized response teams equipped with advanced machinery and a diversified vehicle fleet to address potential flooding and weather-related incidents.
The comprehensive preparedness strategy forms part of operational plans designed to ensure public safety during extreme weather conditions. Municipal crews have conducted preemptive drainage cleaning operations to prevent water accumulation and implemented emergency measures to maintain infrastructure functionality.
Meteorological reports indicate the UAE will experience heavy precipitation, thunderstorms, and potent winds reaching velocities of 60 km/h from southeastern to northwestern directions on Thursday, with turbulent conditions persisting through Friday. The weather system—a low-pressure area that has delivered substantial rainfall across the region throughout the past week—may cause reduced visibility and challenging travel conditions.
The municipality’s proactive approach emphasizes community protection and individual safety as weather intensities increase. This response aligns with broader national preparations, including Dubai’s announcement of remote work arrangements for government employees on December 19th to minimize mobility during peak weather activity.
