The movement of strong northwesterly winds will average 20km/h to 30km/h on dry land, while an average 25km/h to 35km/h wind speed is expected to affect the sea.
Temperatures are expected to remain relatively low ranging from 15 to 24 degrees Celsius.
The NCMS also said that on Monday, “the UAE will be partly cloudy in general, becoming cloudy at times, especially over western coastal areas with some rain may fall by night. Strong winds will continue over the sea and the exposed areas, causing blowing dust and sand with poor visibility at times.”
The amount of humidity will increase during night and early morning over some internal areas.
Residents are advised to take caution when venturing out into coastal areas and the deep sea.
