Dubai: Be careful if you are going out this morning as UAE residents can expect dusty conditions on Thursday, especially during the day.

According to the National Center of Meteorology (NCM), skies across the UAE are expected to be partly cloudy and dusty during the daytime. Low clouds are expected over some eastern areas.

Winds are expected to repeatedly blow, at a speed of 15 –25 km/h, reaching up to 40 km/h at times.

The winds are expected to blow dust and sand into the air, especially during the day, getting stronger with the cloud activity and reducing horizontal visibility.

Drivers should be careful on the road as the dust might hinder visibility. Those who suffer from allergies should also take precautions when going outside.
