Residents and tourists in Dubai woke up to a surprising sight today as the sun beamed down on the city, following days of relentless rain and devastating flooding.
The unexpected shift in weather comes after the United Arab Emirates was battered by more than a year and a half's worth of torrential rain since Monday evening.
The desert city-state yesterday suffered horrendous floods which swamped the airport and many of the surrounding roads, forcing dozens of flights to be cancelled as travellers crammed into the concourse to shelter from the torrential downpour.
Shocking videos shared on social media showed how cars were filled with water, forcing hundreds of motorists to abandon their vehicles - with some having been completely submerged - and swim to safety.
The rains began late on Monday, soaking the sands and roadways of Dubai with some 0.79 inches of rain, according to meteorological data collected at Dubai International Airport.

The storms intensified at around 9am local time on Tuesday and continued throughout the day, dumping more rain and hail onto the overwhelmed city.
By the end of Tuesday, more than 5.59 inches of rainfall had soaked Dubai over 24 hours.
