Residents in various parts of the UAE have been advised to be cautious as a dust warning has been issued for various regions of the country. The National Center of Meteorology (NCM) issued an alert for lowered visibility on highways because of winds blowing strongly that would lift dust and sand into the air.
The weather department also predicted a sudden drop in temperatures over the weekend, marking the onset of cooler conditions following a spell of warmth. The coastal and interior regions are likely to experience hazy and breezy conditions, especially during the day.
Motorists should use caution as blowing dust might impact road conditions, especially on highways and exposed roads. Authorities have also recommended people with respiratory conditions to restrict outdoor activities.
The NCM will keep a close eye on the weather condition and issue frequent updates, calling on the public to tune in to official sources for the newest advisories and alerts.
