On April 16, 2024, significant rainfall resulted in devastating flooding in Dubai, where they recorded their heaviest rainfall numbers in 75 years.
An upper-level system near the Arabian Peninsula doused the UAE and Oman with a historic amount of precipitation.
The city of Dubai received close to two years worth of rain during a 24 hour period, recording around 6 inches of rainfall.
The flash flooding turned roads into rivers. Air travel into the Dubai International Airport was interrupted as showers and storms continued to drench the desert and concrete landscape.
