Heavy rain caused flooding and blocked streets in parts of Dubai on Monday.

Cars were trapped in standing water as drainage systems were unable to cope with the torrential rains.

The UAE National Center for Meteorology has issued a weather alert for many cities in the UAE, valid until midday on Tuesday.

Dubai Police used cellphones to send safety alerts, urging residents to stay away from beaches and valleys and exercise caution while driving.

In response to the weather conditions, authorities have implemented safety measures, including encouraging schools and businesses to work remotely.
