Historiske regnmængder skaber kaos i Dubai med ødelagte veje og oversvømmelser. Læs om store regnmængder og kampen mod flodbølgerne i UAE.
Voldsomme regnskyl har ramt Dubai og resten af De Forenede Arabiske Emirater og skabt kaos med oversvømmelser og ødelæggelser. Mindst én person er omkommet efter skybruddene, der har ført til record regnmængder i ørkenlandet. Dubai, normalt tørt og solrigt, blev forvandlet til en vandby, hvor veje blev omdannet til floder og vand strømmede ind i huse og virksomheder. Store motorveje var tilstoppede af vandmasser, og lufthavnens passagerer blev bedt om at holde sig væk, da den glamorøse finansby kæmpede med de ualmindelige store regnmængder. Desuden er der spekulationer om, hvorvidt skybruddene var forårsaget af kunstig regn eller klimaforandringer, mens myndigheder afviste, at de havde foretaget skyblanding inden skybruddene.
