Eating out, poor hand hygiene and erratic weather may be among causes, say medics
A new video shows dramatic cracks of lightning over the skies of Umm Al Quwain as heavy thunderstorms lash the country.
The video, posted by Umm Al Quwain News, comes as the UAE saw a deluge of rain starting on New Year's Eve. Residents woke up on the first day of 2022 to wet, cloudy weather.
Moderate to heavy rains lashed parts of Sharjah, Dubai Ras Al Khaimah and Al Ain overnight and early morning, according to the National Meteorological Department (NCM).
NCM's tweets suggested that the recent showers around the country were bought on by the ongoing cloud seeding programme.
