Dubai is preparing for heavy rainfall and potential flash floods, reminiscent of the severe storms that impacted the city in April 2024. Concerns are rising that many expatriates, particularly British nationals, may face travel disruptions during the Christmas season due to possible flight delays or cancellations. Meteorologist Jim Dale notes that while the storm’s worst effects may bypass Dubai, thundery downpours could still cause significant damage. Locals are already sensing a shift in weather, with reports of cold, grey conditions signaling impending rain.
