A weather alert has been issued by the National Centre of Meteorology (NCM) of the United Arab Emirates (UAE), alerting citizens to the possibility of rainfall and a marked decrease in temperature in a number of regions this week. The warning is issued as changing weather patterns are predicted to bring with them a range of conditions, from strong gusts to sporadic showers.
The Met Office reports that winds of up to 40 km/h could mix up dust and make it harder to see in open spaces. Partially cloudy sky and a mild to moderate drop in temperature are likely to accompany these strong gusts, providing some respite from the usual summer heat.
Authorities have advised the public, especially motorists, to exercise caution during dusty weather and avoid travel in affected areas unless necessary. The biggest changes, such as light to moderate rainfall, may occur in coastal and northern regions.
Residents are encouraged to stay updated through official weather bulletins and avoid spreading misinformation on social media. The weather changes align with seasonal shifts and are expected to persist for several days.
