Stay out of the water until Friday, beachgoers warned
Weathermen have asked UAE beachgoers to stay away from the sea until Friday
Al Ain: Beachgoers are being warned to stay out of the water Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday this week due to severe turbulence in the water.
Strong north-westerly winds have been raising waves 10 to 12 feet high in the Arabian Gulf, the National Centre of Meteorology and Seismology (NCMS) said.
Northwestern winds had been recorded at a speed of 35 knots per hour.
"It's dangerous," warned a forecaster when asked about the sea on Tuesday.
Anybody paying no heed to the warning, including fishermen, joyriders, or people travelling in ferries or any other small vessels, would be in the trouble, he added.
The winds would also be strong over land at times, kicking up sand and dust. The horizontal visibility would also be affected. The NCMS has also issued a similar warning for the general public.
The weather would be hazy and partly cloudy at times especially over the western areas.
The centre also hinted about a significant fall in the daytime temperature in most of the areas across the emirates. There are, however, no chances of rain anywhere in the country.
It was cold, windy, and humid in last night in the coastal and desert areas. The condition was quite misty with sky becoming whitish grey after midnight in Al Ain and its surrounding areas. There was, however, no fog.
The temperature Tuesday is expected to hover between 15 to 31 degree centigrade in the coastal areas, 11C to 35C in the internal, and 11C to 24C in the mountainous areas.
