In Sharjah, the Sharjah Private Education Authority extended remote learning until February 13 as well.
A similar advisory was made for all private and public schools in the country before a day of hail and thunderstorms on Monday.
The advisories included higher education institutions in the country as well.
Public and private sector companies too opted to have their employees work from home on February 12. Those who had to or chose to go into work anyway struggled with massive delays and waterlogged roads.
The inclement weather has also caused damage to cars, schools, and homes, particularly in Al Ain, where the National Centre of Meteorology (NCM) has issued a red alert for unstable conditions.
