Dubai in the United Arab Emirates (UAE), which is known for its dry and hot temperatures, was inundated with floods due to heavy rains on Tuesday. Heavy rains brought normal life activities to a complete halt in this bustling city. Along with this, the flood situation in the city has increased the concern about climate change. Due to heavy rain on Tuesday, Dubai International Airport was also waterlogged. Let us tell you that Dubai International Airport is known as the busiest air hub in the world.
Waterlogging in Dubai International Airport
In view of the waterlogging situation at the airport, many incoming flights were diverted. Usually around 100 planes arrive at Dubai Airport on a normal evening, but due to the conditions prevailing there due to climate change, the flights were diverted. However, after 25 minutes the arrival of planes gradually started again.
