Heavy rains in the United Arab Emirates have an impact on Al-Ain locals.
Al-Ain locals use cardboard and yoga mats to protect their cars from the predicted rain and hail.
In addition, some are getting ready for extended shifts as a public safety precaution.
Residents of Al Ain are taking precautions this time around, remembering the impact of ice pellets on car windows and denting hoods. Authorities in the United Arab Emirates have warned of heavy rain, hail, and thunderstorms this weekend, so they say they will be "extra careful."
The most recent hailstorm severely wrecked my neighbor's brand-new automobile. He lost about Dh25,000 on the car, according to local Semeer Moyin.
Al Ain residents are preparing for heavy rain and thunderstorms.
The people of Al Ain are getting ready for thunderstorms and a lot of rain.
As a result, everyone is now driving more cautiously. There's only one shaded spot I have. I have a yoga mat covering my other automobile. I just hope that suffices.
His neighbors also constructed improvised automobile shields. As per Moyin, some people used rugs and cardboard boxes.
The nation is expected to experience severe rain, thunderstorms, and hail from Friday night (March 8) to Sunday midday (March 10). In other places, flooding is also anticipated.
Heba Hussain, who recently relocated to Al Ain from Abu Dhabi, described the previous rainstorm as "unnerving" overall.
Fortunately for us, the storm only slightly damaged our home, with a few leaks here and there. There was some damage to our automobile, but it was just dents, she remarked.
"To protect the cars from hail and rain, we'll put them in the basement. This time, my spouse will work from home,” Hussain stated.
"I noticed that some of the neighbors, who don't have basements like our building, have covered their cars."
Semeer, a hospital employee, stated he anticipates a demanding workday on Friday. He stated, "Our management is planning our weekend schedule to ensure that there is enough staffing available in case of emergencies."
Even though the ice pellets have the potential to do great harm, Semeer claimed that they are also beautiful. "I drove my family around to see the city looking so pretty last week after the storm," he remarked. "It was enjoyable for my children."
Residents of Al Ain would be able to enjoy the scenery without worrying about the headache of having to deal with the expensive aftermath now that they are prepared for a hailstorm.
"People weren't prepared for it to be that intense, even if they were aware of it the last time. People are ready this time around, Hussain remarked.
