Dubai: The weather bureau has issued a marine warning as seas will be rough and 7-foot high waves expected offshore as a thunderstorm in eastern Saudi Arabia is heading towards the UAE later today (Sunday).
The weather will be bad for the rest of Sunday with risk of thunderstorms across the emirates.
The marine warning will be effective till 6 am Monday as squalls of 25 knots (46 kmp/h) will hit the offshore areas and sailors are warned not to venture out during this time.
The bad weather has dumped 5 mm of rain in Sharjah and other parts of the emirates since Friday, but it is likely to clear up early tomorrow (Monday), according to the Dubai Met office.
The bad weather is because of the North-Westerly cold front hitting the warm air in this part of the world.
