UAE weather: Windy conditions to kick up dust



ABU DHABI // Fresh winds will stir up dust on Sunday morning, creating poor conditions on the roads.

Motorists are advised to reduce speed and leave enough space between vehicles in such conditions.

The National Centre of Meteorology and Seismology said winds will be light to moderate in general.

Winds are expected to reach up to 36kph along the coast and in the interior.

It will be partly cloudy and hazy at times over some areas, while some low clouds will appear over the east.

In coastal areas, temperatures will reach a high of between 39°C and 42°C and a low of 26°C and 31°C.

Further inland, the maximum temperature will be high at 42°C to 47°C, and as low as 25°C to 30°C.

Relative humidity is forecast to reach a maximum of 90 per cent over the coast and over inland areas.

Sea will be slight to moderate in the Arabian Gulf and in the Oman Sea.

Similar weather conditions could prevail over the next couple of days.

Relative humidity will increase during the night and in the early morning, and mist may also form, the centre forecast states.

No more lice

Defining head lice

Pediculus humanus capitis are tiny wingless insects that feed on blood from the human scalp. The adult head louse is up to 3mm long, has six legs, and is tan to greyish-white in colour. The female lives up to four weeks and, once mature, can lay up to 10 eggs per day. These tiny nits firmly attach to the base of the hair shaft, get incubated by body heat and hatch in eight days or so.

Identifying lice

Lice can be identified by itching or a tickling sensation of something moving within the hair. One can confirm that a person has lice by looking closely through the hair and scalp for nits, nymphs or lice. Head lice are most frequently located behind the ears and near the neckline.

Treating lice at home

Head lice must be treated as soon as they are spotted. Start by checking everyone in the family for them, then follow these steps. Remove and wash all clothing and bedding with hot water. Apply medicine according to the label instructions. If some live lice are still found eight to 12 hours after treatment, but are moving more slowly than before, do not re-treat. Comb dead and remaining live lice out of the hair using a fine-toothed comb.
After the initial treatment, check for, comb and remove nits and lice from hair every two to three days. Soak combs and brushes in hot water for 10 minutes.Vacuum the floor and furniture, particularly where the infested person sat or lay.
