Rains had started from last Wednesday (25th March,night),when I had gone for a walk.Seeing the lighting and thunders, we tried to reach home fast, but were caught up in the rain.Anyway we took shelter near a bank for sometime and then headed home soon.
I had to finish my laundry on Thursday,even though it was raining.I pulled the clothes stand inside the room and left it to dry.Evening trip to the hospital was manageable as it was just drizzling,but on the way back it started to pour.
Luckily I kept my umbrella with me.
Weekends-Friday was o.k
- Saturday morning it was again shining bright.So I could finish some of my outwork that I had.
Sunday- Again started to rain heavily with thunderstorms.I was wondering if we could manage to go to school for the meeting the next day.
Monday--Got up early--no rain-reached school by 7a.m,cam back home by 8.30a.m, as it was sunny and nice, did even a little grocery shopping.Evening came-it started all over.
Tuesday---No rain till now, it is shining bright,so I washed little of the laundry that I had.
Nice to see the rains, but my balcony gets clogged,so are the roads around my home.
Due to bad drainage system in UAE, the roads are really cloged and blocked and the pedestrians have to face the worst situation when car-drivers rush through the water, all the dirty water being thrown at their face, dress,fully.
I don't see why the drivers are always in a rush.Take heed,drive slowly.
There has been so many accidents and deaths due to the rains recently.
According to the weatherman, unstable weather conditions will continue to prevail in the coming two days. The UAE will witness heavy rains and thunderstorms until Sunday.
The Rain Emergency Committee at the municipality yesterday distributed 65 tanks and 60 pumps to drain out the water, particularly focusing on residential areas, schools, government departments and special needs centres.
Residents are urged to call the municipality's 24-hour hotline number 993 if they face flooding in their neighbourhood.
