The UAE experienced scattered rain and dusty conditions today, affecting several regions. The National Center of Meteorology (NCM) reported light rain across Adhen, Al Ghail, Ras Al Khaimah, and Sheikh Khalifa Bin Zayed Road in Fujairah. Dibba, Fujairah, also saw light showers in the afternoon. Earlier, Al Suyoh in Sharjah, Ras Al Khaimah, and Umm Al Quwain received light to moderate rain. Dubai International Airport and Al Minhad recorded light rain as well. In Abu Dhabi, Al Bateen saw rain in the morning.
Dusty conditions reduce visibility
Alongside the rain, strong winds stirred up dust, reducing visibility in several areas. The NCM issued yellow and orange dust alerts, warning residents to take precautions. At Al Maktoum International Airport, visibility dropped below 2,000 meters by 2 p.m. The weather bureau urged the public to drive carefully, keep windows closed, and stay indoors when possible.
A video posted on Storm_ae’s Instagram account captured the dusty, windy weather in northwest Dubai this afternoon. The footage showed strong gusts sweeping across open areas.
Unstable weather continues tomorrow
The weather will remain unstable tomorrow. Dusty to partly cloudy skies will cover the northern, coastal, and eastern regions. Humidity will rise by night and into Thursday morning. Northwesterly winds will strengthen, blowing at speeds between 20-35 km/h, with gusts reaching 50 km/h. These winds will stir up dust and sand, further reducing visibility.
The Arabian Gulf will experience very rough seas, while the Oman Sea will be rough. Residents should stay updated on weather reports and follow safety guidelines.
Stay informed, stay safe
The NCM continues to monitor the weather. Residents should check updates on temperatures and weather conditions across the UAE. Staying informed is crucial during unstable weather. Keep an eye on official forecasts for any changes.
