ABU DHABI// Motorists are being urged to be alert on the roads as unsettled weather causes sand and dust to be kicked up into the air over the weekend.
There is a chance that some parts of the country could see rain, said forecasters at the National Centre of Meteorology and Seismology in Abu Dhabi.
“There will be partially cloudy weather with some towering clouds in some areas, especially in the eastern and northern parts of the country, with the chance of rain.”
Clouds will increase on Saturday and Sunday. This will result in rising dust in exposed areas and reduce visibility, said forecasters.
“Be cautious of low visibility due to dust and dust raised at times and also in areas where rain is falling and it is advised to stay away from water pools near the eastern highlands,” said the NCMS.
The cloud cover will also bring moderate winds.
Temperatures will hit highs of around 40°C during the day and winds could reach 38kph at times.
