Heavy rainfall in Dubai has caused the cancellation of three flights from Kochi so far, with a red alert currently in place only in Al Ain. Other areas such as Ajman, Ras Al-Khaimah, and Sharjah are expected to experience light rain. The Oman Meteorology Director General has warned of heavy rain in various parts of Oman in the coming hours, advising people to stay indoors.
Severe rainfall has caused widespread flooding and disruption in the UAE, with major highways submerged and vehicles abandoned on the roads. The situation is equally concerning in neighboring Oman, where the death toll from severe flooding has risen to 18, with several individuals still unaccounted for.
Regional leaders have extended condolences to the families of the victims, including 10 schoolchildren who were swept away in a vehicle along with an adult. The National Committee for Emergency Management has issued a warning as Oman prepares for the worst of the storm, urging people to take necessary precautions and stay safe.
