DUBAI // Wet and windy weather is expected to continue for the rest of the week, testing ongoing recovery work in areas affected by flooding last week.
Standing water remains in some areas of Dubai, including the Green Community near Dubai Investments Park, with news from forecasters of more rain on the way likely to put residents and workers on alert.
Coastal areas may experience winds of up to 50 kilometres an hour during periods on Wednesday and Thursday.
This will result in rough conditions in the Arabian Gulf and Oman Sea and kick up dust, reducing visibility in some areas.
Forecasters said there was a good chance of scattered rain on Wednesday morning and Thursday.
A forecast from the National Centre for Seismology and Meteorology in Abu Dhabi said unstable weather would continue to affect the country, with increased cloud cover and scattered rain .
“Moderate to fresh winds [will cause] dust and poor visibility over exposed areas.”
The cloud cover is likely to cause temperatures across the country to fall with lows of 22°C in Dubai and Abu Dhabi and 18°C in Sharjah and the other emirates, with highs of about 30°C.
Temperatures in interior areas of the country will be between 33°C and 37°C during the day but as low as 15°C at night.
Humidity could be as high as 88 per cent in the evenings for the rest of the week.
