The United Arab Emirates (UAE) and its neighboring countries had witnessed their heaviest rainfall in 75 years, as floods took the lives of 20 people in Oman and one in the UAE.
The heavy rains did not only cause floods and shattered building structures, but also affected operations at Dubai International Airport, the second-busiest airport in the world.
UAE’s state-run news agency called the rain “a historic weather event” that surpassed “anything documented since the start of data collection in 1949.”
