It’s boots, brollies… and ‘take action’ weather according to the National Centre of Meteorology and Seismology.
A storm is likely to hit the UAE today, and in anticipation, Abu Dhabi schools announced on Tuesday evening they will be closed on Wednesday. Dubai authorities are leaving it up to each individual school to make a decision.
Rain is expected to start falling on Wednesday AM and continue for most of the day
