Dubai authorities have advised residents to remain indoors and avoid leaving their homes unless absolutely necessary, as weather conditions are expected to worsen across the United Arab Emirates over the next several hours.

According to official advisories, heavy rainfall and thunderstorms are forecast to persist across multiple emirates, with unstable weather conditions expected to continue until Friday noon. Residents have been urged to exercise caution, particularly when traveling, as reduced visibility, strong winds, and localized flooding may occur.

Authorities emphasized the importance of following official safety guidelines, monitoring updates from government channels, and avoiding flood-prone areas. Motorists are also advised to drive cautiously and refrain from using underpasses or wadis during periods of heavy rainfall.

Emergency and municipal services remain on standby as precautionary measures are implemented to ensure public safety during the adverse weather conditions.
