Al Ain: Strong winds have been kicking up dust and sand in many parts of the country on Sunday. Forecasters predict a dip in temperature on Sunday and Monday.

In its 48-hour forecast, NCMS said wind - with speed of 10 to 18 knots over land and 25 knots over sea – is expected to hit the country. This can lead to rough condition in the sea with waves as high as six to eight feet.
The temperature would slightly dip in the night and start going up from Tuesday.
