Dubai Airport Floods Due To Heavy Rain In The UAE This Morning
The airport says they are “experience operational disruption due to heavy rains”
Exactly one month after a video of The Dubai Mall flooding from heavy rainfall went viral, the heavens have opened once again and flooded the roads in the UAE this morning.
In typical fashion, people across the city took to social media to share pictures of how the rain is affecting their day, and many have shared posts of Dubai Airport, which has allegedly flooded.
One video depicts the transfer buses driving through the puddles where the water level submerges half of the tyres.
