"Unprecedented Dubai Floods: 2 Years' Rain in 24 Hours Paralyzes City"

TL;DR Summary
Dubai experienced severe flooding after receiving two years' worth of rain in just 24 hours, causing chaos in the city. The Dubai International Airport diverted inbound flights due to "exceptional weather," and all government entities and private schools were instructed to work remotely. Human-amplified climate change is cited as a cause for the increased frequency and intensity of extreme rainfall events, leading to more frequent and severe flooding as infrastructure struggles to cope with the influx of water.
