Currently, as more rain and unstable weather is predicted for the region, the UAE National Centre of Meteorology have released a brand new set of guidelines for residents to follow to ensure maximum safety during the aggressive weather. The NCM has taken to 'X' to announce the following:

• Avoid driving unless absolutely necessary. If necessary, drive with caution and remain vigilant and alert to ensure the safety of all road users.
• Turn on low-beam headlights when visibility is reduced.
• Follow weather forecasts from official channels and be ready to comply with instructions issued by relevant authorities.

While the aforementioned guidelines should be common knowledge to us all, it is true that during moments of panic, many of us forget to follow even the most basic of road rules. Always make sure to err on the side of caution and to refrain from driving at all, if possible, during the unstable weather.
