Dubai, known for its arid climate and blistering temperatures, was battered by torrential rain on Tuesday, triggering widespread flooding throughout the desert nation. The unforeseen downpour not only halted the bustling city's usual pace but also sparked worries about the escalating influence of climate change on extreme weather phenomena in the area.
In the United Arab Emirates (UAE), annual rainfall averages less than 200 millimetres. With temperatures soaring to as high as 50 degrees Celsius during the summer, the UAE's water resources are under immense pressure, compounded by its heavy reliance on groundwater sources.
