After months of a rainless season, heavy rain in the last few days caused the closure of some streets and water clogging in some areas of the capital.
The unprofessional architectural design of streets and roads lead to the accumulation of large quantities of water, forcing a halt to some infrastructure enhancement projects for telephone lines, electricity, water, and road construction.
Meteorologists forecast more rains in many areas of the country, and Sanaa will probably face the danger of heavy floods if this continues.
