Rain and dust are expected to prevail in the UAE as weather conditions remain unstable.

Light rainfall has been reported from some areas of the UAE on Sunday morning.
According to the National Center of Meteorology and Seismology (NCMS), light showers hit Abu Dhabi, Jais Mountain, Makassib and Abu Al Bokhoosh.
The NCMS forecast rainfall of varying intensity until Monday. The cold air mass is expected to intensify on Sunday.
Cloud cover will continue to increase along scattered areas, associated with convective clouds of varying intensities of rainfall that may include some thunder.
The NCMS said that moderate to fresh winds will blow more strongly at times, potentially  stirring up dust and sand. Expect diminished horizontal visibility levels along exposed areas during the day, the NCMS reported.
In a statement, the centre called on motorists to take all precautions against poor visibility levels resulting from sand and dust storms, staying away from water gatherings, especially those near the highlands.
Weather continues to be cloudy to partly cloudy on Monday during the day with a continuation of rainfall over the northern and eastern areas. Cloud cover is expected to decrease gradually during the evening and night.
Southeasterly and northeasterly winds are expected to freshen during this period, becoming stronger at times over the sea.
