The 7 Stages Of Dubai Rain We All Relate To
Whenever there’s rain in Dubai, or the UAE, residents have certain reactions to it. It’s a bit of a novelty, so we naturally get a bit excited initially…
We all do it. And we all go through a wave of emotions whenever there’s a bit of precipitation.
1 Shock: OMG it’s raining!
Clouds and rain! What is this?
2 Documentation: Better get a snap for Twitter/Instagram! #DubaiRain
Because if we don’t share it on social media – did it really happen?
3 Fear: Oh no, the traffic is going to be horrific
Because between that guy who crashed and the pond forming on the Hessa Street turn, we’re never getting to work.
4 Discussion: Talk about the weather with everyone you see
“How about this weather eh?” the perfect smalltalk.
5 Fatigue: Why is everyone talking about the weather?
We get it Diane, it’s raining. But do you have to post six times and tell everyone in the office?
6 Grief (unless you’re a teacher): Everything is cancelled including Friday brunch
Sport events, performances, even brunch!? Because if Chris can’t get a tan while celebrating his birthday, what even is the point of going to Zero Gravity?
7 Happiness: You realise it’s a Netflix in your onesie day
Ah, with everything cancelled, it’s time to catch up on all those episodes of The Crown you’ve missed.
