In response to anticipated inclement weather conditions, Dubai’s municipality has taken decisive action, announcing the closure of all beaches, public parks, and markets in the emirate starting Thursday, May 2. The UAE has issued an alert forecasting “medium to heavy rains” over the next two days, prompting authorities to implement precautionary measures across the country.
Multiple emirates have opted for distance learning, while the UAE government has mandated remote work for its employees and advised private sector employers to follow suit. Additionally, Dubai Airport and airlines have issued advisories to passengers in light of the weather forecast.
While these closures and measures may disrupt daily routines, authorities have emphasized that safety remains their utmost concern. UAE officials have assured residents that proactive steps are being taken to mitigate any potential risks associated with the adverse weather conditions.
