The UAE witnessed light to moderate rain coupled with sandstorm on Sunday morning. The weather is expected to be cloudy throughout the day.
"The weather will remain cloudy and hazy at times, with a large amount of clouds forming over scattered areas, which may be associated with rainfall," according to the National Centre of Meteorology (NCM).

According to NCM, the temperatures are likely to dip in some areas, but humidity remains high.
 
The NCM has also urged sea-goers in the Arabian Gulf to take caution against strong northwesterly winds.
In a statement, the NCM said strong wind with a speed of 55 km/h will affect the sea, raising wave heights to 6-10 feet from 3.00am Sunday until 3.00 am Monday.

Rough to very rough sea conditions are expected in the Arabian Gulf and the Sea of Oman.
