It called on residents to stay away from water-logged areas and to comply with safety instructions.

Meanwhile, Abu Dhabi Police are reminding motorists to abide by the speed limits displayed on electronic information boards.

Large parts of the Northern Emirates were hit by record rainfall and devastating floods last week.
