The National Centre of Meteorology, NCM, calls on motorists to take all precautions and follow traffic regulations regarding dust and sand causing poor visibility.
In a statement today, the NCM said that visibility is expected to be less than 1,500 m at times in overexposed areas due to fresh northwesterly winds with speed reaching up to 46 km/hr until 7 pm on Monday evening.
Earlier today, motorists in the UAE were surprised when the cloudy weather made way for slight rain in few parts of the country.
Light rain was reported over Dibba (Fujairah), Ajman and Umm Al Quwain on Monday morning.
