Dubai: Various parts of the UAE will see the weather change over the weekend as forecasters expect light rain to fall across the northern and coastal areas.
The National Centre of Meteorology (NCM) urged motorists to take caution while driving during the rain, and warned against poor visibility due to sand and dust blowing over exposed areas. Residents should not visit wadis and dams, and advised not to visit offshore areas due to rough waves expected in the Arabian Gulf.

“Mist and fog may form in the morning over some internal and coastal areas, and it will be partly cloudy and hazy at times during the day,” said the NCM.
