That's really good news for those who live in Sharjah, I can remember some real bad incidents in times gone by due to rain.

Dam for roads ! why not get a proper drainage system. I still remember when emirates road turned into a river. I landed up going through the diversion behind Gargash ( now open ) with water up and over my hood !

But I actually enjoy all the rains and flooding. Kinda going offroading with out actually having to go offroad .

The worst part is a few days after the rain when all the water turns into mud pits and for months you cannot drive a clean car afterwards. It looks as you just came back from a mudfest !

The Sharjah carwash owners love it though

Anyone one know how bad it gets in Disco Gardens ? As recently there has been some problems with the pipes and I see this place has great potential to become a lake. Yipeee !!!

I'm already driving around the miniature lakes that formed here recently

lol guess we all should invest in small boats for the rainy season let me go and get my paddle

Hi didnt think ir rained much in the Emirates, am i wrong

That is indeed good news. Sharjah, it seems, gets hits the worst when rain comes pouring down. I hope this measurement solves some of the drainage issues.
