Authorities in the United Arab Emirates issued a red alert across the gulf nation advising citizens to remain vigilant as the weather condition continues to get worse Tuesday, forcing the government to shut down schools and send its employees to work remotely.
Heavy rain and thunderstorms were witnessed across the UAE with powerful lightening on the skies, starting from late Monday till Tuesday, the local media reported.
The National Centre of Meteorology was quoted by Khaleej Times as saying: “Unstable weather conditions will continue to impact the UAE from Monday through Wednesday due to an extension of a low surface pressure and two waves of unstable weather to move across the country on Tuesday.”
