Dubai: The UAE is set to experience dusty winds, cloudy skies, and unstable sea conditions this afternoon, according to the National Center of Meteorology (NCM).

Low clouds are forming along the east coast, with a chance of convective activity over the mountains, which may bring isolated weather developments. Moderate to fresh winds, especially in western areas, will stir up blowing dust and sand, reducing visibility in some regions. The Arabian Gulf will be moderate to rough, while the Oman Sea is expected to remain slight to moderate.

Get ready for a weather shift tomorrow as the UAE sees a mix of cloudy skies, cooler temperatures, and a chance of light morning rain along the east coast, according to the National Center of Meteorology.

Northwesterly winds will pick up speed, becoming strong at times, especially in western regions, with gusts reaching up to 45 km/h, stirring up blowing dust and sand and reducing visibility on roads.

At sea, conditions are forecast to worsen. The Arabian Gulf will turn rough to very rough by night, while the Oman Sea may see moderate to rough waves, making it hazardous for small boats and offshore activities.

Authorities are urging drivers and seafarers to remain alert and check weather updates before travel.

The NCM also released the latest temperatures and weather conditions for cities across the UAE.
