The weather will be "partly cloudy at times in some areas during daytime. At night, the temperatures will be hot to moderate until early morning".

NCM also issued a yellow dust alert on Monday morning, warning of dust and reduced visibility across Abu Dhabi, Dubai, Sharjah and other parts of the UAE.

Strong winds at a speed of 15 –25 km/h, reaching up to 45 km/h at times, caused dusty weather in some areas, especially where clouds developed.
