The UAE Is Gearing Up In Anticipation For The Upcoming Storm

It caused some flooding here and there but it was managed by local authorities throughout the week. Now when residents hear another storm is brewing, they’re planning ahead!
NCEMA stated that “upcoming weather conditions will be less severe than the previous one” – so that’s good news!
