Two months of rain fell in just 12 hours
Many videos of rain have surfaced on social media. In which heavy rain is being seen on the roads along with strong wind. During this time lightning also flashes. Despite not raining as much as two weeks ago, Dubai received 20 mm of rain within 12 hours. Which is double the rainfall that usually occurs in April and May. Another emirate, Abu Dhabi, recorded 34 mm of rain in 24 hours, four times more than the average rainfall for April and May.
Dubai learned from the floods
Dubai has learned from the floods caused by previous rains and its preparations this time are clear. A day before the rain, the workers opened the drains on the roads. Emergency alerts were sent widely to mobile phones in the city and people were warned to stay indoors. Roads were closed in flooded valley areas, while people were asked to stay away from mountainous, desert and coastal areas.
Climate change responsible for UAE
Heavy rain is not common in the desert areas of the UAE. Scientists have linked the record rainfall two weeks ago to climate change. A team of 21 scientists and researchers under the World Weather Attribution initiative found that climate change is responsible for the heavy rainfall in both countries. Studies have shown that rainfall cannot increase by more than 10 to 40 percent without the effects of global warming.
