Dubai travel authorities today urged travellers to stay away from the airport after the United Arab Emirates was hit with severe flooding after getting 2 years’ worth of rain in 24 hours.

 

 

Over a half foot, 6.26 inches of rain was recorded in the United Arab Emirates city between 10 p.m. local time Monday and 10 p.m. local time Tuesday, according to the Dubai Meteorological Office.

 

The National Centre of Meteorology confirmed the record rainfall with more rain expected in the coming hours.

 

The rains left massive ponds on streets as winds disrupted flights at Dubai International Airport, the world’s busiest for international travel and the home of the long-haul carrier Emirates.
