Dubai Municipality on Friday, April 26, clarified that the fish deaths
spotted in some of Dubai’s water channels are a normal natural
phenomenon.

This is in response to social media users who claimed to have spotted
numerous dead fish around the emirate’s water channels.

Taking to X, the municipality said this happens due to weather
changes and rising sea surface temperatures.

To manage the situation, specialised teams have been deployed to
remove the dead fish, ensuring public safety.

On Tuesday, April 16, UAE experienced its highest rainfall in 75 years,
causing extensive damage to homes, flooding, and widespread travel
disruption.

At least three people were killed in the heavy rainfall that severely
impacted the country.
