Dubai: Weather is expected to remain dusty the whole day a duty forecaster at the Dubai Meteorological Department said on Sunday morning.
“The dusty conditions are expected to clear most probably by Monday. It is nothing unusual for UAE to experience such weather conditions. The Emirates experienced something similar last year as well. The intensity might differ. A sandstorm in the borders of Iran and Iraq is what had resulted to these dusty conditions. We are getting affected by it because it is being blown to this part of the region by the northwesterly winds,'' said the duty forecaster.
Giving a word of caution she said: “Care should be taken by Asthma patients as they might not find the weather conditions suitable for them.''
Maximum temperature stands at 41 degree Celsius while the minimum is at 31 degree Celsius. Maximum humidity level is at 61 per cent while the minimum is at 15 per cent.
