There has been major disruption in Dubai this afternoon, with planes seen

splashing through water at the main airport.

Operations at DXB were suspended for 25 minutes due to the intense storm, with

a total of 21 outbound and 24 inbound flights cancelled as well as three flights
diverted to other neighboring airports, a spokesperson told Gulf News.

Operations have since restarted, Dubai International Airport added.

People had been braced for bad weather in the Gulf state, with Dubai Police

putting out a safety warning yesterday telling people to avoid the beaches as well
as valleys which could flood.
