UAE weather warning: high winds hitting the Emirates



ABU DHABI // Forecasters have issued a weather warning saying winds are stirring up dust and sand, creating poor conditions on the country’s roads.

The National Centre of Meteorology and Seismology (NCMS) said the weather will reduce visibility and has urged motorists to be cautious while driving.

The NCMS called on drivers to reduce speed and leave enough space between vehicles.

Saturday will be partly cloudy with fresh winds causing more blowing dust specially over Northern and Eastern areas.

Relative humidity will increase by night and early morning with chance of fog formation over some western areas.
