Dubai, known for its arid climate and high temperatures, was thrown into disarray on Tuesday when heavy rainfall hit the United Arab Emirates (UAE), causing disruptions in air travel and leading to extensive flooding throughout the desert nation. The sudden downpour not only halted the vibrant city’s activities but also heightened awareness of climate change’s role in intensifying extreme weather phenomena in the area.
On Tuesday, heavy rainfall necessitated the diversion of numerous incoming flights at Dubai International Airport, the world’s busiest hub for international passengers. The airport, which usually sees over 100 flight arrivals on a typical evening, experienced an unusual suspension of arrivals, resuming gradually after 25 minutes. Although departure flights resumed in the evening, there were significant delays and cancellations in flight operations.
Social media videos depict planes taxiing along inundated runways and vehicles partially submerged in the airport parking lot. The access roads to the airport were also flooded.
