The National Center of Meteorology, NCM issued an alert due to dust storms and wind intensifying across the UAE, hence causing diminished visibility on roads. Drivers are advised to be cautious, especially when driving through areas hazy, which might endanger safe driving.
The weather conditions continue to prevail throughout the day, with gusty winds that reach up to 40 km/h and dust clouds that reduce visibility below 2,000 meters in many areas. Motorists are cautioned to drive slowly, maintain a safe distance from other vehicles, and use fog lights if needed.
The NCM has also warned of rough sea conditions along the coast, which could impact maritime activities. The authorities are monitoring the situation closely and have urged the public to stay updated on weather developments through official channels.
Residents are advised to limit outdoor activities if possible and to stay hydrated during this period of high dust and wind. The NCM will continue to issue updates as the situation evolves.
