Rare water cyclone, rainbow spotted in UAE

The continuous raining in parts of the UAE has led to two natural phenomena which are rarely experienced in the UAE—a water cyclone and a rainbow.

In several videos posted by residents and news agencies in the country, a water cyclone—also known as watersprouts—was spotted over the waters of Ras Al Khaimah’s beach on Wednesday, October 31.

The National Center of Meteorology (NCM) later confirmed the occurrence of the water cyclone and told that no one sustained injuries due to the event.

Meanwhile, a rainbow was also spotted in Dubai following the light to heavy rains experienced in several areas of the emirate.

Lifestyle website What’s On Dubai posted an image of the rare rainbow on their Instagram page. The photo was taken from the company’s office in Dubai Media City. The rainbow is also believed to be “right over Atlantis The Palm”.
