ABU DHABI // The wind is expected to continue throughout the long weekend, especially over the sea, the weather bureau says.
A north-westerly wind blowing between 30kph and 45kph along the coast may increase to 55kph, the National Centre of Meteorology and Seismology said.
In the interior and mountainous areas, the wind speeds will be slightly reduced to between 20kph and 35kph, with gusts reaching up to 45kph.
The centre said the wind will cause rough to very rough conditions in the Arabian Gulf and Sea of Oman. On land, strong winds may kick up dust and sand over exposed areas, reducing visibility.
Sunday’s high will reach between 23°C and 27°C along the coast. Temperatures will be about 1°C warmer in the interior and much cooler in the mountains, where highs are expected to range from 17°C to 21°C.
The lowest temperature recorded over the country on Sunday was 2.6°C at Jebel Jais at 2.30am.
