Dubai: Unstable weather conditions are expected to persist across the UAE as a surface low-pressure system, coupled with an upper air low, continues to influence the region. The National Centre of Meteorology (NCM) has forecast fair to partly cloudy skies today, with chances of convective cloud formation over northern, eastern, and some internal and southern areas, including islands. These clouds may bring scattered rainfall.

Winds will be light to moderate, turning fresh to strong at times — particularly with clouds — causing blowing dust and sand and reducing visibility.
