ABU DHABI // Drivers have been urged to use caution as poor visibility caused by blowing dust has been forecast across the country.
The National Centre of Meteorology and Seismology asked drivers to reduce their speed and leave enough distance between vehicles, especially on open roads.
Strong north-westerly winds along the coast could reach up to 60kph on Sunday, causing the water to be very rough in the Arabian Sea at times.
The moderate to fresh winds may also cause blowing dust and sand, especially over the interior.
Hazy and partly cloudy weather is expected to continue and temperatures are forecast to drop to a low of between 25°C and 28°C along the coast and reach a high of 34°C to 37°C on Sunday.
The coolest temperatures will be felt along the mountains, where the mercury will drop to between 20°C and 25°C and reach a high of 25°C to 30°C.
Partly cloudy weather will continue through to Tuesday.
An increase in humidity during the evening and early morning hours may lead to some fog inland, according to NCMS.
