UAE weather forecast: Dusty conditions and cooler temperatures forecast this week

## Dusty and Cooler Weather Forecast

The UAE is set to experience dusty weather and a drop in temperatures this week. The National Centre of Meteorology (NCM) has indicated that active winds will contribute to these conditions, potentially causing rough seas.

## Wind and Sea Conditions

Winds are expected to be light to moderate, occasionally reaching speeds of up to 40 km/h, which may lead to blowing dust and sand. The Arabian Gulf is predicted to have rough to moderate sea conditions, while the Oman Sea will vary from slight to moderate, becoming rough by evening.

## Weather Outlook for the Week

Tuesday should see a slight improvement with fair skies and a gradual temperature rise. However, winds will continue to freshen intermittently. The Arabian Gulf may experience rough conditions in northern areas, and the Oman Sea could also become rough at times.

By midweek, fair weather is expected to persist, but active winds will likely continue to raise dust in some regions. Sea conditions are anticipated to fluctuate between slight, moderate, and rough in both the Arabian Gulf and the Oman Sea.

## End of Week Forecast

On Friday, generally fair weather is expected, with north-westerly winds freshening at times. Rough sea conditions are likely to develop in the Arabian Gulf by the afternoon.
