Wind, cold wave, pushes mercury towards zero degrees Celsius
Winds, cold wave Sunday pushed the mercury down to freezing in parts of northern emirates
Al Ain: Winds and a cold wave Sunday pushed the mercury down to freezing levels in some parts of the northern emirates.
Forecasters believe the conditions would be bitterly cold Monday night.
"The conditions are severely cold and likely to continue at least for the next two days," said a duty forecaster at the National Centre of Meteorology and Seismology (NCMS).
The NCMS said the low atmospheric pressure has pushed the cold front over the UAE. The development could result in partly cloudy to cloudy, windy, and cold to very cold conditions across the emirates.
The sea is going to be rough to very rough with around eight to 10 feet high waves offshore.
People have been advised to stay away from the sea as conditions are dangerous for small boats and fishing trawlers.
More rain is expected on Monday in the coastal areas.
