Torrential rains persisted in Dubai for a second day, causing widespread disruptions to daily life. Schools, offices, and even the renowned Global Village faced challenges in remaining open, according to local reports. The Emirates Education Foundation mandated distance learning for all government schools on Tuesday, with private educational institutions strongly encouraged to follow suit.
The Knowledge and Human Development Authority (KHDA) in Dubai issued directives for private schools, nurseries, and universities to comply with the distance learning order. Khaleej Times highlighted the impact of the tumultuous weather, including hail and thunderstorms, particularly affecting the Al Ain region of the UAE. The National Centre for Meteorology (NCM) issued a red alert for the area, where homes, schools, and vehicles suffered damage during the intense storms.
The decision to implement distance learning and encourage remote work by public and private sector companies aimed to ensure the safety of students and employees amidst the adverse 
weather conditions. Additionally, waterlogged roads and traffic congestion prompted companies to opt for remote work on Monday.
The iconic Global Village temporarily closed its doors on Monday due to the severe weather conditions, with plans to reopen on Tuesday, February 13, as weather conditions improved. A statement on social media from the Global Village officials assured visitors of their commitment to guest safety during adverse weather conditions.
