Dubai motorists who are driving home from work today are urged to take extra precautions as rain batters several parts of the country, leading to water pools on certain roads.

The emirate's Roads and Transport Authority (RTA) issued an alert at 4.47pm, informing drivers of an "expected delay" on the Sheikh Mohamed Bin Zayed Road at the entrance of Sharjah.

In its traffic advisory, the RTA said rainwater had accumulated on that particular section of the road, leading to a delay.

The authority's emergency team is now working to restore smooth traffic flow.
