The whole school system in Abu Dhabi and Dubai has been shut down.
There are a lot of Irish people over in the UAE, living and working in the likes of Abu Dhabi and Dubai, and they’ve been caught up in the nation’s massive rain storm.
JOE reader Jamie Ashley Ní Shúilleabháin, from Kerry, is based in Abu Dhabi and has been telling JOE that the rain has had such a huge impact in the country that schools have been closed for two days.
Jamie sent us these quite alarming videos of what’s been happening.

This one is particularly scary…
Meanwhile, Tipperary man Alan Christopher Hally, a teacher in Al Ain who has been living in the UAE for four years, has shared this clip with JOE, illustrating the chaos that the rain has caused on the nation.
