Winds are expected to be light to moderate, but could freshen intermittently, especially in areas experiencing cloud build-up. This may result in blowing dust in some inland regions, slightly reducing visibility.
Sea conditions will remain slight to moderate in both the Arabian Gulf and the Oman Sea, though wave activity could increase during periods of stronger winds.
Meanwhile temperatures in Dubai, Abu Dhabi and Sharjah are expected to rise to highs of 27ºC each and drop to lows of 20ºC, 22ºC and 20ºC respectively.
