Life in the UAE is gradually returning to normal after two days of torrential rains and strong winds that caused significant disruption across the country. Dubai International Airport has resumed normal operations, lifting earlier disruptions, with most flights now operating on schedule. Airlines such as Emirates and FlyDubai are offering rebooking options for affected passengers, though travelers are still advised to confirm their flight status before heading to the airport. Authorities continue to urge caution, even as the worst of the weather subsides.
To assist residents whose vehicles were damaged by flooding, police in Dubai and Sharjah have launched streamlined online services for obtaining mandatory insurance reports. Dubai Police offers a “To Whom It May Concern” certificate for AED 95 through its app or website, with a 24‑hour processing time if photos are submitted. Sharjah Police is providing the same certificate free of charge to those affected by natural disasters in the emirate, accessible via its smart application.
Tourist and public attractions are reopening as cleanup efforts progress. Dubai Global Village reopened from 4 p.m. Friday, while beaches and parks in Abu Dhabi and Dubai have also resumed operations. Municipal teams worked extensively to clear waterlogged areas such as Karama and Al Barsha, restoring accessibility and safety. Recreation sites, including Jebel Jais, are set to reopen from 11 a.m. on Saturday.
The National Center of Meteorology forecasts colder conditions as rain clouds clear, with temperatures potentially dropping to 10°C in the coming days. Isolated light rain may occur in some areas on Saturday, but no strong winds are expected. While recovery is well underway, officials remind the public to stay alert to updates and follow safety guidelines during the continued cleanup and cooler weather ahead.
