Ras Al Khaimah Police in the UAE has issued a warning to residents and visitors amid the persisting heavy rains and hail in the region. This has led to the Wadi Shawka Dam reaching its full capacity, posing potential risk. To ensure public safety, authorities have taken to social media, urging people to stay away from the dam and its nearby valleys. The increased water level in the dam can lead to flash floods and pose a threat to anyone in the vicinity. The unstable weather conditions are expected to persist until at least Tuesday (August 8). Residents are urged to stay informed about updates from authorities and to take necessary precautions to safeguard their well-being and that of others. KKL/Expat Media
