The UAE's Ministry of Interior (MoI) on Tuesday issued a weather alert, urging residents and motorists to adhere to guidelines as 'unstable' conditions are expected over the next few days.
The MoI and the National Emergency Crisis and Disasters Management Authority (NCEMA), as well as other entities, assured the public that they are fully prepared for any emergency that may arise during this period.
Residents are warned against sharing misleading news and rumours about weather conditions. "Refer only to official sources for updates and safety instructions," the MoI said in a tweet.
The National Centre of Meteorology (NCM) said “unstable” weather conditions could be expected over the next two days. Cloudy conditions will prevail, with rainfall of different intensities, thunder and lightning at times over some areas forecast for Wednesday and Thursday.
