The UAE authorities are preparing for possible increased rainfall as initial data suggests potential effects from a tropical depression forming in the Arabian Sea. They also anticipate rough seas and coastal flooding in some regions. Last week, the UAE's National Center of Meteorology (NCM) alerted residents of a potential tropical depression forming in the Arabian Sea this week, as they tracked a developing low-pressure system. Following NCM's warning and the recent rainfall in the country, the National Emergency Crisis and Disasters Management Authority (NCEMA) took proactive measures by holding a crucial meeting with the Joint Assessment Team. The meeting aimed to evaluate the potential impact of the severe weather conditions in the Arabian Sea, prioritizing the nation's preparedness and safety. Authorities analysed initial data, indicating that the expected weather phenomena will mainly have an indirect impact on the UAE. During the meeting, authorities discussed ways to strengthen readiness to respond to weather developments by closely monitoring and tracking its path and trends. If weather conditions worsen, the authorities will share safety guidelines through the UAE's official channels. Citizens and residents are advised to stay informed about weather updates and follow all advisories to ensure their safety. FLE/Expat Media
