As the weather patterns in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) undergo fluctuations, the National Emergency Crisis and Disaster Management Authority (NCEMA) has conducted a series of meetings to address potential challenges. An alert was issued earlier this week for anticipated rainfall, lightning, thunder, and possible hail across various regions from Sunday to Tuesday.
The NCEMA has underscored the implementation of precautionary measures and assured the public of the nation’s readiness to manage the forthcoming drop in temperatures. In line with this, the authority has issued a comprehensive advisory to residents, emphasizing the importance of adhering to safety protocols, particularly in areas prone to heavy rainfall. Motorists have been urged to exercise extreme caution, avoiding water channels, flood-prone paths, and water terrains to mitigate risks.

Residents have been advised to refrain from spreading rumors and rely solely on official sources for accurate information and guidance during adverse weather conditions. This concerted effort aims to foster a sense of preparedness and ensure public safety across the UAE.
In Ras Al Khaimah, the police department has echoed these sentiments, urging motorists to prioritize safety while navigating through challenging weather conditions. Motorists are encouraged to use low-beam headlights to enhance visibility, maintain functional windshield wipers, and inspect vehicle brakes after encountering puddles. Additionally, residents have been cautioned to stay clear of valleys during periods of rainfall to prevent potential hazards.
