In response to the shifting weather patterns across the country, the National Emergency Crisis and Disaster Management Authority (NCEMA) has convened a series of meetings to address potential challenges. Earlier this week, an alert was issued by NCEMA for anticipated rainfall, thunderstorms, lightning, and possible hail in certain areas from Sunday to Tuesday.
Reiterating their commitment to safety, NCEMA has assured the public that precautionary measures are in place to manage the expected temperature drop. Additionally, the authority has issued a comprehensive advisory urging residents to adhere to safety protocols, particularly in regions susceptible to heavy rainfall. Motorists are advised to exercise utmost caution, avoiding waterlogged areas, flood-prone routes, and water bodies.
Emphasizing the importance of reliable information, NCEMA has urged residents to refrain from spreading rumors and to rely solely on official sources for accurate updates and guidance.
Echoing NCEMA’s preparedness, the Ministry of Interior has affirmed its readiness to handle the adverse weather conditions. They advise the public to remain vigilant, follow safety guidelines, and exercise caution during this period.
In line with these precautions, Ras Al Khaimah Police have issued reminders to motorists to prioritize safety while driving in inclement weather. Motorists are urged to use low-beam headlights for improved visibility and ensure windshield wipers are functional. Furthermore, drivers are advised to inspect their vehicle’s brakes after encountering puddles and to avoid valleys during rainy conditions.
By staying informed and adhering to safety recommendations, residents can mitigate risks and navigate the changing weather conditions with caution and preparedness.
