Some roads had to be shut down as heavy rains lashed different parts of the UAE in the last two days. Photos and videos shared on social media showed flood-like situations in valleys and mountains in the northern emirates.
The Sharjah Police have closed the Wadi Al Helou road due to flash floods in the valley. The Ras Al Khaimah Police also closed the road leading to Jebel Jais, the highest peak in the UAE, due to incessant rains.
Both police forces have advised motorists to stay away from valleys and mountainous areas as they could get caught in flash floods.
The rainy weather is expected to continue at least till Wednesday.
According to the National Centre for Meteorology (NCM), heavy rains are lashing the Sama area in Ras Al Khaimah; Wadi Al Sedar, Tibaa, and Al Khalibiya areas in Fujairah; Ghayathi in Al Dhafra; and Delma. Rains have also been reported from Khor Fakkan.

Recently, a truck driver died as his vehicle got swept away in flash floods after incessant rains in Ras Al Khaimah's Al Qur Valley. Three other SUVs were swept away in the same valley, but the authorities managed to rescue the drivers and retrieve the vehicles.
