The weather department of the UAE has warned of dusty weather and rough seas, asking citizens to be cautious while traveling or conducting outdoor activities. A minor rise in temperatures is also anticipated nationwide.
Heavy northwesterly winds will tend to raise dust and sand, lowering visibility on highways, especially in open and desert regions. Drivers are advised to drive cautiously and observe safety regulations to prevent accidents due to poor visibility.
The Arabian Gulf and Oman Sea will likely have harsh conditions with turbulent waves and strong tides. Fishermen and people intending marine activities have been warned against going out into the sea until the weather improves.
Authorities advise those with respiratory illness to practice precautions, e.g., wearing face masks and staying indoors wherever possible. Dusty conditions are expected to continue in the next 24 to 48 hours with gradual clearing off in portions.
