Blowing dust could reduce the visibility on roads.
Light to moderate rain was reported in different parts of the UAE on Wednesday morning, according the National Center of Meteorology (NCM).
According to the latest tweets by NCM, light to moderate rain was reported over Jebel Ali in Dubai, Sharjah, Ras Al Khaimah and in Abu Dhabi.

The centre also predicted “rough to very rough seas” till Thursday.
