A yellow alert was issued across large sections of the UAE on Thursday due to dusty weather expected throughout the day.
The weather warning, which runs until 7pm on Thursday, predicting high winds of up to 40kph, covers an area from Sila in the west to Al Ain in the east.
People are advised to be careful if taking part in outdoor activities. The NCM also predicts rain will fall in parts of the UAE throughout Thursday and Friday, most likely in the south-east of the country.
While temperatures have soared as usual this summer, Al Ain region has seen more than its fair share of rain.
The wet weather has been caused by a low-pressure system from the south-east bringing moisture-laden air from the Arabian Sea, a meteorologist from the NCM told The National last month.
