UAE braces for dust, rain, and rough seas.
The UAE is expected to experience partly cloudy to cloudy conditions, with dust and a chance of light rain in some areas as a low-pressure system affects the region, forecasters said.
In its daily bulletin, the National Centre of Meteorology (NCM) said winds will range from light to moderate, strengthening at times—particularly over the sea—raising dust and sand and reducing visibility. Temperatures are expected to dip slightly, while sea conditions are forecast to become rough to very rough in the Arabian Gulf and rough in the Oman Sea.
Conditions are expected to improve on Thursday, with fair to partly cloudy skies, although winds may still strengthen at times, reaching up to 40 km/h and causing blowing dust. Sea conditions are expected to remain rough to moderate.
On Friday, partly cloudy conditions are expected to continue, with a chance of light rain over some western coastal areas and islands. Winds will remain moderate, with gusts reaching up to 35 km/h.
Clearer weather is forecast for the weekend, with generally fair conditions on Saturday and Sunday. Temperatures are expected to rise gradually, with humid conditions overnight and into Sunday morning, while sea conditions are set to become slight in both the Arabian Gulf and the Oman Sea.
