ABU DHABI // Forecasters warned of strong winds and haze on Sunday which may reduce visibility and irritate those with respiratory issues.

Winds of up to 30kph are expected to pick up dust, particularly across exposed areas such as motorways.

The National Centre of Meteorology and Seismology said conditions will be partly cloudy otherwise with a chance of light rain along the coast and northern areas.

Temperatures will range from 20°C to 33°C along the coast, 13°C to 25°C in the mountains and 20°C to 37°C inland.

Humidity will peak between 70 to 90 per cent across coastal regions, 65 to 85 per cent in internal areas and 40 to 60 per cent in the mountains.

Seas will be moderate to rough in the Arabian Gulf and Sea of Oman.
