"Deadly Rain and Floods Wreak Havoc in Oman and Dubai"
TL;DR Summary
Record levels of rainfall in Oman and the United Arab Emirates have caused at least 19 deaths, disrupted Dubai's airport, and led to widespread flooding in both countries. The extreme deluge, likely intensified by climate change, prompted authorities to urge residents to stay at home and led to the closure of schools and government offices. The heavy rains have since eased, but caution is still advised as some areas received over 9 inches of rain, far exceeding the average annual rainfall.
