As expected, there’s been heavy rain in the UAE since last night and it has continued today. Some schools have been closed due to the unstable weather conditions and authorities have warned the public to be extremely cautious on the roads. Yikes!

The National Meteorology Department issued a warning for a dust storm and high waves that are expected to be 9 FEET HIGH (maybe not the best day to go to the beach).

Seriously guys, it’s pretty scary out there. Also, the Dubai Mall has suffered flooding and leakages in the parking lot and in the actual mall! How crazy is that?

Many roads are flooded with cars struggling to get through the traffic. To top it off, there are really strong winds all around the UAE which is aggravating the situation further.
The storm is said to last till 8pm today so try to stay indoors as much as possible. Check out local news forums like Gulf News and Khaleej Times for the latest weather updates.
In the meantime, here are more jaw dropping videos:
