Parts of the UAE have started experiencing light to heavy rainfall, bringing cooler temperatures and cloudy skies with it.
With residents hitting the roads to chase after rains, the Abu Dhabi Police have issued simple tips they can follow to stay safe.
In an awareness message posted on Twitter, the police have advised people to avoid stepping out during heavy rains. Residents have also been urged to avoid open spaces like valleys during thunderstorms.
The police also advised motorists to be extra cautious while driving on rain-drenched roads as they will be slippery.
“Being alert and cautious is very important in the lower terrain or valley streams as the chances of rocks and debris collapsing around the edges of valleys are high. Never stop in a valley stream. Try avoiding crossing it,” said the police. “Please pay attention to your children and keep them away from the valley streams. This is a beautiful time, please don’t ruin it by ignoring important safety precautions.”
