More rain and flooding over UAE's east coast

  • Arabic

Heavy rain fell over parts of the country's east coast on Saturday, leading to isolated flooding.

The National Centre of Meteorology said there were downpours over rural Ras Al Khaimah and Sharjah.

Isolated downpours were also reported in the border area with Oman.

Oman saw heavy rainfall last month, with more than two-years worth of rain over two days in some areas, leading to flooding in which four people died.

The rest of the UAE was dry on Saturday but high temperatures and high humidity made for uncomfortable conditions.

Temperatures are forecast to remain in the mid-forties this week, with changeable conditions and humidity.



Quick pearls of wisdom

Focus on gratitude: And do so deeply, he says. “Think of one to three things a day that you’re grateful for. It needs to be specific, too, don’t just say ‘air.’ Really think about it. If you’re grateful for, say, what your parents have done for you, that will motivate you to do more for the world.”

Know how to fight: Shetty married his wife, Radhi, three years ago (he met her in a meditation class before he went off and became a monk). He says they’ve had to learn to respect each other’s “fighting styles” – he’s a talk it-out-immediately person, while she needs space to think. “When you’re having an argument, remember, it’s not you against each other. It’s both of you against the problem. When you win, they lose. If you’re on a team you have to win together.”
