When you go out, don't forget to carry an umbrella and also take a jacket or scarf to protect from the weather as there will be scattered rainfall and blowing dust over the next few days, the UAE weather bureau said on Friday.
According to the National Centre of Meteorology (NCM), it will be cloudy in general, with scattered showers at times until Tuesday.
Today's weather is expected to be partly cloudy to cloudy over eastern and northern areas with a probability of light rain. The hazy condition will also bring a significant fall in temperature.
The northwesterly wind, with speed between 25 and 40kmph will bring dust and blowing sand over exposed areas and it will be very rough to rough in the Arabian Gulf and rough in Oman Sea.
On Sunday, weather will slightly improve. It will be partly cloudy and cloudy at times over northern areas. The fresh northwesterly winds will cause blowing dust and the waters will be rough in the Arabian Gulf.
Monday will be partly cloudy to fair with moderate to fresh northwesterly winds with speed of up to 30kmph. Tuesday will also be partly cloudy to fair and hazy at times with moderate to fresh northwesterly winds.
Meanwhile, the 'Union Fortress 5' in Ajman was postponed until March 8 due to unstable weather conditions on Friday. The northwesterly winds brought suspended dust and caused blowing sand that reduced visibility.
Authorities have issued warning for motorists to follow road regulations as the UAE faces lower visibility levels due to unstable weather conditions in the next few days.
