The country witnessed several difficulties in managing the inclement weather, however, authorities and residents came together to ensure the safety of all.
The centre confirmed that the record rainfall that fell on the country during the past 24 hours until 9pm on Tuesday, April 16, is an exceptional event in the UAE's climate history since the start of recording climate data, and it is expected that the coming hours will witness the recording of larger amounts of rainfall.
