Dubai Floods: Air India, IndiGo Dubai flights face cancellation amid adverse weather | Oneindia

The United Arab Emirates witnessed an unprecedented deluge, marking its most substantial rainfall on record since 1949. Described as a "historic weather event" by the state-run WAM news agency, the widespread downpour across the UAE is attributed to a combination of factors, including cloud seeding initiatives. Significant disruptions have been reported in flights from India to Dubai due to heavy rains causing flooding at the emirate's airport, one of the world's busiest. Air India, operating 72 weekly flights from multiple Indian cities to Dubai, alongside IndiGo, have cancelled their services on Wednesday. Other carriers, including Air India Express, Vistara, and SpiceJet, which also serve various Indian cities to Dubai routes, have been affected as well. Dubai, hosting a substantial Indian diaspora, sees these flight cancellations impacting travel plans and connections for many. #DubaiRains #DubaiFlightsCancelled #AirIndia #IndiGo #FlightsCancelledDubai #dubaiflood #dubaifloodnewstoday2024 #dubaifloodinglive #dubaifloodslatestnewstoday #dubaifloodnewstoday #dubaiflood2024 #dubaifloodnews #dubaiflood2024live #dubaifloodvideo #Oneindia #Oneindia news ~PR.152~ED.101~GR.121~HT.96~

Evacuation Notice Issued Over ‘catastrophic’ Wildfire in Canada’s oil town Fort McMurray | Details

Canadian authorities are issuing urgent warnings to all residents still in a British Columbia town to evacuate immediately, despite better weather conditions, following earlier evacuations prompted by a rapidly spreading wildfire. The fire, ignited on Friday, surged nearly twofold in size by the next day, engulfing approximately 17 square kilometres (4,200 acres). BC Wildfire Service maps depict the blaze raging just a few kilometres west of Fort Nelson's city boundaries. Nestled in the far northeastern reaches of British Columbia, approximately 1,600 kilometres (995 miles) from Vancouver, lies Fort Nelson. This remote town, along with the Fort Nelson Indian Reserve, is home to a combined population of about 3,000 residents #EvacuationNotice #FortMcMurray #WildfireEmergency #OilTownThreat #CanadianWildfires #EmergencyResponse #FortMacFire #BCWildfire #CanadaWildfire #CatastrophicBlaze #SafetyFirst #DisasterAlert #CommunityEvacuation #EmergencyPreparedness #StayInformed ~HT.178~PR.152~ED.194~GR.124~
