Today, the weather conditions in the UAE are expected to be hot during the day and dusty at times, said the National Centre of Meteorology (NCM).

The NCM said: “The weather will be hot during daytime over some internal areas and some low clouds will appear over eastern coast by morning."

Also, a warm breeze will blow across the country during the day. The NCM said: “Light to moderate Northwesterly winds, freshening at times, will result in blowing dust and sand over some areas with a speed of 15 - 25, reaching 35 km/hr.”

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.
