In the wake of relentless heavy rainfall, the United Arab Emirates faces further disruptions. Flights have been grounded, residents have been urged to work from home, and students are studying remotely as authorities prioritize safety. The Knowledge and Human Development Authority (KHDA) has announced that all private schools, nurseries, and universities will transition to distance learning. Additionally, government employees in Dubai will be working from home on May 2 and 3. To ensure public safety, parks and beaches have been closed. The adverse weather conditions have also impacted air travel, with Emirates, Flydubai, IndiGo, Vistara, and SpiceJet reporting flight delays and cancellations across the UAE. In response to the severe flooding in April, Dubai International Airport deployed 22 tankers with vacuum pumps to manage the overflow of water. The National Centre of Meteorology (NCM) forecasts partly cloudy weather over eastern and southeastern areas of the UAE on Friday. However, temperatures are expected to rise gradually from Saturday, with highs of 38 degrees Celsius in Abu Dhabi and 35 degrees Celsius in Dubai. The weather department anticipates light to moderate winds that may stir up dust and sand.
