An X user, Aditya Joshi shared a post with a caption, “Dubai got flooded after 120 mm rains in whole day and people cry after Mumbai Gets slightly waterlogged after 250 mm in 3 hours. #dubairain  #dubairains”.

Incorrect analogy. Dubai was not built for such heavy rains - rains that would flood most cities. A better analogy would be if it suddenly snowed heavily in Bombay, which was obviously not built to handle snow at all. Would people in snowy Oslo mock Bombay?

Another user posted, “Looking at the Dubai rains, my respect increased for Mumbai’s BMC management.” taking a witty jibe at Dubai's infrastructure.
