The UAE government has issued a critical advisory urging residents to remain indoors as a precautionary measure against impending severe weather conditions set to disrupt normal life.
Starting tomorrow, March 8, until noon on Sunday, March 10, authorities advise residents to avoid unnecessary outdoor activities to ensure their safety.
The adverse weather will begin in the Al Dhafra and Al Ain regions, gradually advancing towards Abu Dhabi and its surrounding areas.
In anticipation of the severe conditions, authorities have announced the closure of all roads leading to mountainous regions, citing safety concerns for motorists and pedestrians alike.
Furthermore, stringent measures are in place to deter individuals from gathering near valleys, flooded areas, and dams during rainy weather. Violators risk facing fines of up to AED 10,000 as authorities prioritize public safety and minimize potential risks associated with adverse weather conditions.
This preemptive action underscores the government’s commitment to safeguarding the well-being of its residents and visitors. The public is strongly urged to adhere to the advisory, exercise caution, and cooperate with authorities to mitigate any potential hazards posed by the inclement weather.
As the nation braces for the onset of severe weather, authorities continue to monitor the situation closely, providing regular updates and necessary assistance to ensure the safety and security of all individuals across the Emirates. Citizens and residents are encouraged to stay informed through official channels and adhere to safety guidelines issued by relevant authorities during this period of heightened weather alert.
