The low-pressure system that brought the rain and sandstorm to the UAE has weakened significantly and moved south, the National Centre of Meteorology (NCM) said.

NCM shared the latest findings during the daily coordination meetings being held between all the authorities concerned with dealing in mitigating the effects of weather conditions.

The meetings are attended by the National Emergency Crisis and Disaster Management Authority (NCEMA), Ministry of Interior (MoI), Ministry of Defence, Police Directorates across all Emirates, NCM, and the Ministry of Energy and Infrastructure (MoEI).

There will still be a chance of light to moderate rainfall on Monday, with the chance of heavier rain across the Eastern and Northern parts of the country, in addition to the city of Al Ain and Al Dhafra region, with the continuation of moderate southeast dusty winds.

The authorities confirmed their full preparedness for all possible scenarios and changes during the meeting, confirming the readiness of all plans and teams.

Concerned authorities have also confirmed that new announcements of all developments related to the weather situation will be shared through all official platforms, calling on the public to obtain information from the official platforms and to deter from spreading rumours.

Meanwhile, Dubai Airports have confirmed that operations at the Dubai International Airport are currently recovering to normal following the weather delays over the past two days.

“Between Sunday afternoon and the early hours of Monday, a total of 44 flights were cancelled while 12 flights that were diverted to Dubai World Central (DWC) and other neighbouring airports have since returned back to DXB or their respective base,” said a Dubai Airports spokesperson.

“There have been no weather-related flight cancellations or diversions since. We are working closely with airlines and other service partners to restore normal operations at the earliest and to ensure that inconvenience to our customers is minimised.”

Emirates Airline and Flydubai have advised customers to check their websites for the latest flight updates before heading to the airport.

Sheikh Hamdan bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Crown Prince of Dubai, Deputy Prime Minister, Minister of Defence, and Chairman of the Board of Trustees at Dubai Future Foundation, has approved the launch of a groundbreaking global initiative. This classification system clearly distinguishes the role of humans and machines in creating creative, scientific, academic, and intellectual content.

A Transparent Approach to the Future of Content Creation

In a statement, Sheikh Hamdan said: “Distinguishing between human creativity and artificial intelligence has become a real challenge in light of today’s rapid technological advances. This calls for a new approach to recognise the growing role of intelligent machines. That’s why we launched the world’s first Human–Machine Collaboration Icons, a classification system that brings transparency to how research documents, publications, and content are created.”

He urged researchers, publishers, writers, designers, and content creators worldwide to adopt this system responsibly and in a manner that benefits society.

As part of the initiative, all Dubai Government entities have been instructed to implement the classification system in their research and knowledge-driven activities.

About the Human–Machine Collaboration (HMC) Classification

Developed by the Dubai Future Foundation, the HMC classification system introduces a new standard for content transparency. It allows users to visually identify the extent of human vs. machine contribution in the creation of any piece of work, from research reports and academic papers to design and digital media.

The classification applies across multiple sectors, including research, publishing, content creation, and design, all of which are increasingly influenced by automation and AI.

The Five Main HMC Icons

The system features five core icons to represent levels of human–machine collaboration:

  • All Human – Fully created by a human, no machine involvement
  • Human-led – Created by a human with machine assistance for accuracy or improvement
  • Machine Assisted – Collaborative creation between human and machine
  • Machine-led – Machine-driven content with human verification
  • All Machine – Fully generated by machines, without human input

In addition, nine functional icons highlight specific stages where collaboration took place, including ideation, data collection, analysis, interpretation, writing, visuals, and translation.

While the icons don’t quantify the exact level of machine contribution, they offer a transparent, standardised way to disclose collaboration, empowering creators and consumers alike.

A Global Call to Action

The HMC classification is designed to be adaptable across industries and compatible with all types of media, including text, image, and video content.

Dubai’s Roads and Transport Authority (RTA), in collaboration with multiple government agencies, has carried out more than 1,000 inspections targeting delivery motorcycle riders across the city, as part of an ongoing campaign to boost road safety and enforce regulatory compliance in the fast-growing delivery sector.

The joint effort included participation from Dubai Police, the Ministry of Human Resources and Emiratisation, Dubai Municipality, and the Dubai Health Authority.

The inspections focused on high-traffic areas such as Downtown Dubai, Jumeirah, and Motor City, according to Ahmed Mahboob, CEO of the RTA’s Licensing Agency.

Key violations detected:

  • Riders not wearing protective gear
  • Lack of certified training
  • Reckless driving
  • Operating vehicles without proper documentation

As a result, 19 motorcycles were impounded, and multiple warnings were issued.

To support education and compliance, the RTA also distributed QR codes linking riders to safety videos and training resources in multiple languages.

“It’s essential for delivery companies and riders to strictly follow all safety and licensing rules,” said Mahboob.
“This is not just about regulations, it’s about protecting lives and improving service quality across the emirate.”

Why it matters

With the rise in food delivery and e-commerce, delivery motorcycles have become a common sight on Dubai’s roads, and ensuring rider safety directly impacts everyone who shares the road.

The RTA confirmed that it will continue to run regular joint inspection and awareness campaigns to maintain a safe and sustainable delivery environment.
