The UAE is set to experience a shift in weather conditions this week, with dust, stronger winds, and light rain expected to affect various regions. The National Centre of Metrology (NCM) forecasts that fair to partly cloudy skies will become cloudier, particularly over coastal areas and islands.

## Wind and Sea Conditions

Winds are predicted to strengthen, reaching speeds of up to 40 km/h, which may cause dust storms and reduce visibility in some areas. The Arabian Gulf is expected to see moderate to rough seas, while the Oman Sea will remain relatively calmer.
