Southeasterly to Northeasterly winds will blow across the country, at around 35km/h, which will pick up dust and sand from exposed areas.
The NCMS predicts the weather until Wednesday to continue being hot and hazy, although there is a chance of convective clouds to form over the eastern areas, bringing about some rainfall that may also extend to internal areas.
Residents are also advised to prepare for dust and sand storms, as gusts of wind is expected to blow across the UAE in the afternoon.
The sea will have mild waves in the Arabian Gulf and may become rough in the Oman Sea.
