Strong winds are expected to cause blowing dust and rough sea conditions.
The UAE is expected to experience generally fair but dusty weather this week, with another drop in temperatures forecast today as active winds raise dust and create rough sea conditions, according to the National Centre of Meteorology.
The NCM said the country will be influenced by an extension of a weak surface low-pressure system from the east and a high-pressure system from the west, along with an upper-level high-pressure ridge.
Light to moderate north-westerly winds are expected to strengthen at times, causing blowing dust and sand, with wind speeds ranging from 10 to 25 km/h and reaching up to 40 km/h.
Sea conditions in the Arabian Gulf are expected to be rough to moderate on Monday, while the Oman Sea will remain slight to moderate, becoming rough by evening.
Weather conditions are forecast to improve slightly on Tuesday, with fair skies and a gradual rise in temperatures across the country. South-westerly to north-westerly winds will stay light to moderate, occasionally strengthening up to 40 km/h.
The Arabian Gulf is expected to remain moderate, becoming rough at times in northern areas, while conditions in the Oman Sea may also turn rough intermittently.
The National Centre of Meteorology said fair weather will continue on Wednesday and Thursday, although active winds are expected to persist, raising dust in several regions.
Sea conditions are forecast to fluctuate between slight, moderate, and rough at times in both the Arabian Gulf and the Oman Sea through the second half of the week.
On Friday, conditions are expected to remain generally fair, with north-westerly winds continuing to strengthen at times and rough seas likely developing in the Arabian Gulf by afternoon.
