Dubai Airport Flooded After Heavy Rains
Flooding Chaos at Dubai Airport
Torrential Downpours Cause Travel Disruptions
Dubai has been hit by severe flooding after torrential rains lashed the United Arab Emirates in recent days. The rainfall, which began on Monday, has caused widespread disruption, including at Dubai International Airport, one of the busiest airports in the world.
Footage posted on social media shows flooded terminals and aircraft unable to taxi. Travelers were left stranded, with flights canceled or delayed. The airport has since reopened, but travel disruptions are still being reported.
The heavy rains have also caused flooding in other parts of Dubai, with roads submerged and buildings damaged. The National Center of Meteorology (NCM) has issued a warning for further thunderstorms and heavy rainfall in the coming days.
The flooding in Dubai highlights the vulnerability of cities in arid regions to climate change. Heavy rainfall is becoming more frequent and intense in these areas, as the Earth's atmosphere warms. Cities need to invest in infrastructure and measures to mitigate the risks of flooding and other extreme weather events.
