Dubai floods: Roads turn to rivers as airport diverts arriving flights

Unstable weather and heavy rain continued to overtake parts of the United Arab Emirates (UAE) on Tuesday, flooding some streets and stalling traffic in Dubai.
Early on Monday, Dubai police issued a public safety advisory alerting residents to the adverse weather conditions. The UAE's National Centre of Meteorology stated that from Tuesday afternoon to early Wednesday morning, another wave of unstable weather was expected to begin from western areas and spread across the country.
Dubai International Airport (DXB) was temporarily diverting arriving flights on Tuesday evening until weather conditions improved, but said that departures will continue to operate. Some residents could even be seen using a rubber boat to move around the flooded streets.
Meanwhile, the death toll in separate heavy flooding in neighbouring Oman rose to 18 with others still missing. The Royal Oman Police said more than 75 people were rescued over a 24-hour period.

Metro stopped, taxis closed. The Ibn batuta mall was also not safe it was heavily leaking and wind blowing things. I walked home 6km luckily it was not raining at that time.

[@itchyfeet2022]

I remember 2005 dxb doesn’t have rain yet. Then 2006 came there’s a little drop of rain but before I left 2010 it gotten worse. We were talking about dxb is not ready for rain nor storm because there was no proper drainage.

Hey everyone, just a quick reminder to drive extra carefully and stay safe on the roads, especially with the rain. Roads can get slippery, so please maintain a safe distance, reduce your speed, and keep an eye out for any hazards. Let's all make it home safely!

[@jeremy6500]

At least they have rain now.

[@GFD_VIDEOS]

In Dubai's land of sand and sun, Where skyscrapers touch the sky, one by one, A tempest brews, a mighty roar, As heavy rain begins to pour. From azure skies, dark clouds descend, As nature's fury knows no end. The streets awash with rushing tide, As raindrops dance, no place to hide. Through winding roads and city streets, The deluge flows, no mercy meets. Buildings shrouded in misty shroud, As rain paints patterns, bold and proud. The desert city, now a sea, With waves of water, wild and free. Cars adrift, like ships at sea, In this unexpected watery spree. But amidst the chaos, a glimmer of light, As communities band together, strong and tight. Neighbors lend hands, hearts full of grace, In the face of nature's relentless embrace. For in Dubai, resilience reigns, As the city weathers storms and pains. Through floods and rains, it stands tall, A testament to the human spirit's call. So let the rain pour down, let it be, For Dubai rises, resilient and free. In the face of adversity, it shall thrive, A beacon of hope, in the storm's revive.

It's now, or it's never, and I've got to make my decision This time it could be my moment Is this a mirage or a chance to fulfill my mission? A river in a dry land The last ace in a lost hand A heartbeat for a tin man Oasis in a singed land I'm keeping the balance, but I'm standing On razor's edge now Move quick or my life is over One strike, just a feint, then I'm out of his field of vision Don't ask why I'm ready, but I'm ready To strike him down now A chance at a new start There's no time for indecision A river in a dry land The last ace in a lost hand When the hope of new beginnings burned our feet Now we need it A heartbeat for a tin man Oasis in a singed land Remind us what we're here for Creating new life Creating rivers in the desert My heart is a furnace Hot as hell in my world of conflict One goal is what keeps me going Take back what I lost to The bosses of greed and fear, yeah Don't ask why I'm ready, but I'm ready To take them down now The time for a new start Is constantly drawing nearer A river in a dry land The last ace in a lost hand When the hope of new beginnings burned our feet Now we need it A heartbeat for a tin man Oasis in a singed land Remind us what we're here for Creating new life Creating rivers in the desert When a cool drop of water's all I need Got to clear my head of anger and greed A place to refresh Heart and mind Can I find some time in Rivers in a dry land The last ace in a lost hand When the hope of new beginnings burned our feet Now we need it A heartbeat for a tin man Oasis in a singed land Remind us what we're here for Creating new life Creating rivers in the desert
