Arab Weather - The United Arab Emirates witnessed a severe weather event on Thursday night, March 26, as a video documented the moment a supercell thunderstorm entered Dubai's atmosphere, accompanied by strong lightning activity and heavy rain that led to a rise in water levels on some roads, amid active to strong winds.

 

 

This situation resulted from the passage of a cold front over the warm waters of the Arabian Gulf, coinciding with the flow of tropical moisture from tropical regions, which led to large temperature differences that enhanced the severity of atmospheric instability. These conditions contributed to the development of strong “supercell” thunderstorms, known for their ability to produce violent weather phenomena within narrow ranges.
