Preparing for rain

As the country transitions into cooler conditions, authorities in Sharjah have ramped up preparations for potential rainfall. Maintenance crews have been tasked with cleaning 40,000 drainage openings across the emirate. Additionally, 70 basins have been prepared to collect rainwater to mitigate flooding risks.

Proactive measures have also been implemented on several major roads in Sharjah. Nine new pumping stations have been installed, each designed to drain up to 1,200 cubic metres of water per hour to ensure infrastructure resilience during the changing weather season.

Why it matters

The sea conditions are expected to be rough to very rough at times in the western Arabian Gulf, while remaining moderate to slight in the Oman Sea. These conditions are particularly important for maritime activities and coastal safety.

For residents and travelers, these meteorological shifts highlight the importance of staying informed as the country prepares for the upcoming cooler months. The proactive drainage preparations in Sharjah aim to ensure public safety and minimize disruption on key transport routes during periods of heavy rain.
