From concerts to comedy shows, there is something for all age groups to do this weekend in the capital city
The Dubai Police on Saturday urged motorists to take extra caution on the roads as unstable weather conditions continue across the country.
Dubai residents saw heavy rains this morning but stopped a few hours later. In other emirates, the downpour continued until afternoon, prompting the UAE's National Centre of Meteorology to issue yellow and orange alerts.
During heavy rain, drivers should steer clear of valleys and bodies of water, the police said in its advisory. In fact, entering flooded valleys — regardless of level of danger — is a serious offence punishable by a Dh2,000 fine, 23 black points, 60-day confiscation of vehicles.
Motorists are also reminded to slow down, keep a safe distance from other vehicles, and avoid distractions while driving.

The public is advised to contact the Dubai Police emergency number 999 or 901 for non-urgent matters and general enquiries.
