Just last summer temperatures there reached
54.0 °C (129.2 °F), tying Death Valley's highest reliably recorded temperature
on Earth.
The United Arab Emirates (UAE) is known for
its desert climate and year-round sunshine, but freak weather conditions have
covered part of it in snow. And as if that wasn’t weird enough, heavy winds
also caused a crane to collapse, sparking a fire.
One person was injured in the blaze
following the crane collapse on Dubai’s busy Sheikh Zayed Road, according to
officials cited by AFP.
The freak weather was caused by the jet
stream bringing arctic weather into the desert, SEE BELOW.

The incident prompted the Dubai Roads and
Transport Authority to briefly suspend part of the city’s metro service as a
“safety precaution” due to falling debris on the tracks.
Authorities also urged motorists to drive
carefully on the road, after the National Center for Meteorology and Seismology
(NCMS) warned of increasing winds and poor visibility.
Winds reached between 75 and 80kph (45 and
50mph) across the UAE, which was also hit by rough seas.
A rare 10cm (3.9 inches) of snow landed in
the area of Jebel Jais, the UAE’s highest mountain, Gulf News reported.
Temperatures also plummeted between -2°C (28.4°F) and -3°C (26.6°F) in the area
according to RT.

These are the types of extreme weather events you would expect to see prior to a major cyclical geoclimatic change (e.g. a major or mini ice age).
These are the types of extreme weather events you would expect to see prior to Anthrogenic Global Warming and an increase in man-made CO2 becoming a high enough percentage in earth's atmosphere to reach the tipping point and turning Earth into the same as Venus, permanently and irreversibly, unless a Global Warming Tax is enacted and all nations come together under the worldly UN Government NOW.
Hope last comment was a joke
It was caused by the jet stream
