“The weather has become unpredictable. There are sandstorms, sudden downpours and even snowfalls in many parts of UAE, The weather is chill and cool and It is the most wonderful time to enjoy. Unfortunately people are forced to stay indoors. I had a plan with few friends to go out but it failed.”

‘Rain, rain go away...’ Mohammad Mustafa, Dubai-based student

Hoping for a sunny day at the beach with my boys and a full day of fun, the day turned out to be a full day of gloom. Rain, rain go away, please for God’s sake come back another day!”

‘Last time I got sick’ Manju Barua, Dubai resident

‘Children very sad’ Monika Prasad, A mother

“We had planned to take our kids to Riverland in the afternoon but we shelved the plan. My kids were thoroughly disappointed as they were excited about Riverland and dinner at McDonald’s. My husband and I had to cheer them up by putting a children’s movie and ordering their favourite chicken nuggets from McDonald’s.
