Weather alert: Dust, rain and rough seas forecast across UAE as winds strengthen

## Weather Conditions

The UAE is set to experience a mix of weather conditions, including dust storms, light rain, and rough seas due to a low-pressure system affecting the region. The National Centre of Meteorology (NCM) has forecast partly cloudy to cloudy skies with dusty conditions across various parts of the country.

## Wind and Visibility

Winds are expected to range from light to moderate, occasionally strengthening to strong, particularly over the sea. This will lead to blowing dust and sand, reducing visibility in some areas. Wind speeds may reach up to 40 km/h at times.

## Sea Conditions

The Arabian Gulf is anticipated to have rough to very rough sea conditions, while the Oman Sea will also be rough. These conditions are expected to improve by Thursday, although moderate to rough seas may persist.

## Temperature and Rainfall

Temperatures are likely to decrease slightly during this period. There is a possibility of light rainfall, especially over western coastal areas and islands on Friday. By the weekend, clearer skies and fair weather are expected, with temperatures gradually rising and humid conditions developing overnight into Sunday morning.
