Heavy rainfall in the United Arab Emirates and Oman has caused widespread flooding, leading to at least 18 deaths in Oman and the temporary suspension of flights at Dubai International Airport. The deluge in Dubai alone equaled a year's worth of rain, marking the largest rainfall event in 75 years for the country. Videos on social media showed planes taxiing through deep water at the airport, and drivers abandoned their vehicles on flooded highways. More rain is expected to continue into Wednesday, with officials warning of heavy thunderstorms, strong winds, and hail in Oman.
