Dubai warns residents to stay indoors because of rain

DUBAI: Dubai police on Thursday urged residents to stay indoors unless going out was “absolutely necessary” as heavy rainfall was expected across the country, which saw record downpours last year. The warning came hours after rainfall in the city caused flooding in streets. “For your safety, please remain cautious as unstable weather conditions are expected in the coming hours, and avoid going out unless it is absolutely necessary until midday on Friday,” said a police alert sent to residents’ phones.
