Weathermen reported heavy showers on Monday in various parts of the UAE due to the unstable weather pattern that saw wadis and dams flooding in the last few days.
Authorities urged motorists to avoid camping in wadis and low-lying areas — as Fujairah Port recorded the highest amount of rainfall in 24 hours since 1977 at 102.8mm.
