Crisis teams across the emirate are addressing the impact of rainfall and ensuring smooth traffic flow restoration. Dubai authorities are trying to provide seamless and convenient mobility throughout the city.
Abu Dhabi Police and the Civil Defence teams have also dedicated all their capabilities to responding to the adverse weather conditions in the capital and assessing issues caused by heavy rain, ensuring public safety.
Private sector companies in the UAE have been asked to continue flexible work on February 13 as rains continue to hit the country. In Dubai, government employees will work remotely for another day on Tuesday, February 13, 2024.
The forecast for Tuesday indicates cloudy conditions with a likelihood of rainfall in certain northern and eastern regions during the daytime. It will be humid at night and into Wednesday morning, possibly leading to the formation of fog or mist across some inland and coastal areas, particularly in the west.
Winds are expected to be generally light to moderate, occasionally strengthening as clouds gather. Maritime conditions are forecasted to be rough in the morning, gradually improving to moderate to slight levels in both the Arabian Gulf and the Oman Sea.
